10. Bloodborne (2015)
What it’s about: Trapped in a city full of plague and savage beasts, a lone hunter sets out to combat both threats and end the cycle of death and despair they’re trapped in.
Why we like it: Bloodborne is a spiritual successor to both Demon’s and Dark Souls and keeps the formula that made both so successful. However, this time, the adventure is set in a bleak, nightmarish city and abandons the backdrop setting for something more Victorian.
This allows players to use guns, ditch shields, and generally fight more aggressively. Bloodborne also leans into the Lovecraftian and adds a survival horror vibe, further separating it from the Souls games that came before. However, Bloodborne is still very much part of the FromSoftware Souls family, and fans continue to cry out for a remaster or a sequel.
