Lords of the Fallen

Lavish presentation

A grim Soulslike where a magic lantern lets you shift between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead. Weighty combat, interconnected level design and the Umbral mechanic make exploration tense and demanding.

Dark Souls

Challenging difficulty

A merciless action RPG whose interconnected world of Lordran rewards careful exploration with clever shortcuts, deliberate combat and cryptic, melancholic lore. Every death teaches something, and every victory feels truly earned.

Bloodborne

Lavish presentation

A fast, aggressive Soulslike set in a gothic nightmare city, where you win by staying on the offensive instead of hiding behind a shield, and the story slowly turns into cosmic horror. Interlocking levels, brutal bosses and cryptic lore make it a genre landmark.

Dark Souls II

The second Souls entry sends you as a cursed undead through the decaying kingdom of Drangleic, offering punishing bosses, huge weapon and build variety, and a sprawling, branching world packed with secrets.

Thymesia

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A fast, punishing soulslike where you play plague doctor Corvus, relying on precise parries and dodges and on the disease powers of plundered weapons. Combat rewards aggression over turtling, set in a grim, decaying kingdom.

Mortal Shell

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A compact soulslike where you possess fallen warriors as "shells", each with its own abilities. The Harden mechanic lets you briefly turn to stone to absorb hits, making combat tense and tactical in a bleak, decaying world.

Nioh 2

Strong character progression

Nioh 2 is a punishing samurai action RPG set in Sengoku-era Japan, where you play a half-Yokai and master stances, timing and supernatural powers. Its deep loot and build variety and fast, demanding combat make it a standout for Soulslike fans.

Black Myth: Wukong

Lavish presentation

A visually stunning action RPG based on Journey to the West, pitting you as a staff-wielding monkey warrior against a parade of spectacular bosses. Transformations, spells and precise dodging define its demanding combat.
