The Dark Souls series is without a doubt one of my favorites. I’ve already finished it 3 times, yet I still can’t get enough of its incredible features. The boss fights are my favorite aspect of Dark Souls. The soundtrack is appropriate for each boss, triggering feelings like terror, sorrow, and excitement all at once. Here I have listed my favorite dark souls like games.

5 Best Dark Souls Like Game

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Even though this game does not have the finest fighting because it’s much more oriented towards stealth and item use instead of simply playable by almost everyone, it is great at what it is attempting to do. The fighting is difficult to grasp which will have you going back for more, and the stealth is a wonderfully interesting element to confrontations that alter each experience. After several hours, the game becomes a little repetitive, which is one of my main concerns. The open-world might be challenging at moments since it’s not particularly linear or focused, but also provides a depth of pleasure after you figure it out.

Code Vein

Code Vein contains plenty of gorgeously drawn, fully narrated stories, some of which I felt quite moving, yet the most significant phrase in the title is this: “does not open from this side.” Although Code Vein is an unapologetically Dark-souls-inspired third-person action RPG, it’s mostly a dungeon-crawler. It’s a videogame about finding keys, exploring areas, battling bosses, and, most importantly, unlocking doors.

Nioh 2

If you enjoy exploring dark, scary locations in a legendary version of Sengoku-era Japan and slaying creatures in the style of Dark Souls or Bloodborne, this is the game for you. The landscapes are not quite as frightening as in Bloodborne, but the gameplay is far superior. Nioh 2 is regarded as one of the greatest action RPGs games. Gameplay is fantastic, techniques are simple to learn and incredibly difficult yet enjoyable to master. If you enjoy repetitive gameplay and combining different builds and skills, this game is a must-have.

Remnant: From the Ashes

Remnant: From the Ashes, in which you play as a character following the footsteps of a founder in order to halt the evil spreading over the ruined planet.

This game was entertaining and simple to get into. When you start improving your weaponry, you’ll notice that the opponents adapt to your ability, so they’re always a fun challenge, especially in hard settings. Go to easy settings for anything a little simpler. A few distinct planets and a great range of creatures will keep you occupied for 40-60 hours; you could even enjoy with your buddy.

The Surge 2

Significant progress from the first game. Stronger fighting, better weaponry, better parry system, and overall more diversity. Weapon movesets & finishes have been improved dramatically. 

If you purchased Game Pass but have not yet completed the previous game, you should do so because the plot for Part 2 is a sequel and the history, would make much more meaning to you.

In terms of the game’s drawbacks. The stages are a Labyrinthian horror, however, if you have a strong understanding and can recognize tiny landmarks to help you travel you should be OK. There is no actual co-op gameplay, but there is still a banner, graffiti, and vengeance system to let you know that you are not alone in your death.

Perhaps, in the long run, there is a slight possibility to battle alongside friends and strangers. I enjoyed listening to “that spooky music,” however most warriors would appreciate the stillness.

If you enjoyed the original game or have access to a Redbox, you should certainly try this one. If you don’t mind waiting, the game should be available in a couple of months.
