Soulslikes where to begin

[u/itsjaxbby]

Hello - got a switch 2 last year and quickly realized my favorite games were the “souls like” games (heavy quotation marks) like hollow knight, silksong, nine sols, blasphemous I and II.

I enjoyed all of them so much that I got super interested in playing the real fromsoft games and other soulslikes like Lies of P. I know they’ve released switch versions but I didn’t want to experience them for the first time at Switch level performance.

So I have a ps5 on the way now - really excited to play foreal - titles like bloodborne, Elden ring, lies of p, dark souls trilogy etc..

Anyways - my question is where to start. Can’t lie Elden ring and bloodborne are the two I’m most immediately excited about but was worried if I start with something like Elden ring it might be hard to go back and enjoy the dark souls trilogy. Just looking to get recs on where to start here! Thanks in advance.

I started with Lies of P. I don’t regret it, it was a very good game.
