I’ve never played a soulslike games because they are a bit intimidating to me. Amy recommendations for soulslikes games to start on or for beginners to the genre?

    Elden Ring is the best one for beginners, because if you get stuck at a boss you can just leave that area and go somewhere else. You are very rarely ever “stuck”. That is not the case with any of the other Soulsborne games.

    In addition, it has spirit summons which make the game significantly easier.

    And since it’s the newest one AND has a DLC coming out soon, it’s also the most played one right now. So finding other players for co-op is easy.

    I also consider the bosses, on the whole, to be the easiest of all of the FROM Software games.

      Also the biggest positive is the capability of fast traveling from your map from anywhere as long as you aren’t in combat.

      It removes the hesitation to explore areas from which you can’t return easily.

      That’s the biggest thing that made Elden Ring significantly less stressful for me.

      Plus you don’t have to worry about weapon durability.
