The hardest games from fromsoftware

Dark Souls III features incredibly fast bosses and complex attack patterns that demand great precision and reflexes. The difficulty increases significantly towards the end of the game, testing even the most experienced players.

• Extremely difficult

Bloodborne's fast and aggressive pace, combined with relentless enemies and an oppressive atmosphere, make it a very challenging experience. Furthermore, the scarcity of resources can be a problem for novice players.

• Everything can be beat through observation and adaptation

Elden Ring is a game acclaimed for its challenging difficulty, requiring players to master complex combat mechanics and explore a vast world filled with formidable enemies. Its design encourages perseverance and adaptation, key elements in FromSoftware's most challenging titles.

• It is agile and requires variety to adapt

Its unique combat system and the need to master parrying make it significantly more challenging than other FromSoftware games. The lack of character customization options also increases the difficulty.

• Teaches boss patterns

• More accessible and approachable due to QoL improvements

• Demands better timing, parrying and aggression

Considered the precursor to the Souls series, Demon's Souls stands out for its relentless difficulty, intricate level design, and unconventional gameplay mechanics. The lack of frequent checkpoints and the world's trending mechanics add additional layers of challenge.

• Mostly fair difficulty

• Every boss (except Maneater) is a puzzle with a clear, blatant weakness

The interconnected level design and lack of clear cues can make Dark Souls very confusing and difficult for new players. The difficulty lies in learning enemy patterns and mastering combat.
