The souls developed by FromSoftware have become famous for their high challenge rate capable of testing even the toughest. Well aware of this, less experienced gamers have always stayed away from Dark Souls & co., but the truth is that not all of them are impossible. Which is the easiest of all?
What's the easiest FromSoftware game of all?
Let's clarify right from the start: none of the souls developed by FromSoftware can be considered a health walk. All of which require patience and dedication, being characterized by difficult enemies and pitfalls of all sorts. Nonetheless, if you really want to test yourself and give one of the most popular videogame genres of the moment a chance, we recommend starting with Elden Ring, which is also the most recent of all.
Yes, we know that the answer to this question is not unique, being influenced by numerous variables, including personal ones, but in our opinion Elden Ring is the easiest FromSoftware souls of all. The reason lies in its open world nature, which distinguishes it from all its predecessors. Offering you greater freedom in exploration and engaging in certain battles, Elden Ring softens the difficulty curve, allowing you to choose the path that best suits you. Is an area too difficult to tackle? Change direction and come back to it later when you and your character feel more ready. Furthermore, the game world is dotted with a large number of bonfires, which never appear to be too far from the action or from the lost XP waiting to be recovered. Ultimately, Elden Ring can be very challenging, but certainly in a gentler way than the others.
Immediately after Elden Ring on this special difficulty scale we place Bloodborne. Let's be clear, even the exclusive PlayStation 4 knows very well how to test you (especially in the tough expansion The Old Hunters), however it presents a more immediate, aggressive and action-oriented gameplay compared to Dark Souls, doing without shields and classes . In other words, it's easier to master completely, even if – we assure you – it knows very well how to put your patience to the test.
