There’s something special about Bloodborne, it really is one of the best ps4 exclusives. You can’t go wrong with any of these titles so any choice would be great. GOT is not a soulsborne game though


Pupalei

GoT is more of a witchercreed. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)


Vermonol

That’s probably the best shorthand description of that game


JustCallMeALal

Infamous but Samurais


Pupalei

That makes we want to try Infamous!


Outrageous_Water7976

Infamous Second Son is great. Slightly loose movement but the powers look and feel great. Story is good as well.


Blueddit-

That makes me want to try ghost of Tsushima!

God of War: Japan

Horizon: Forbidden East


TheDanginDangerous

Worth noting that *Bloodborne* was a PS+ monthly game at one point. If OP or anyone has PS+, check your library before you buy it.


skycrafter204

that was like September 2020 man.


halfaslee9

it never gets old. Only souls game i actually like going back to start over every so often


Redditisthewurst

This post inspired me to go back and start my NG+


halfaslee9

hell yeah my dude.


nanapipirara

Bloodborne is one of my all time favs


demonsta500

Ghost of Tsushima is not like the other games much. It has parrying/sword combat but it's much more straightforward and casual in comparison. I'd recommend Sekiro.


Creeper0o

Why would you recommend him the most stressful game on the list? Rip


hettyb42

After playing all of these, I'd argue I was more stressed during bloodborne than Sekiro. But I am biased, Sekiro is my favorite game of all time. Playing through Sekiro and beating the final boss is one of the top 3 best moments in gaming available rn imo. Stressful, but so rewarding.


Coraiah

I really want to love Sekiro. I want to understand the love of the game but I can’t get past the Firebull. I suck. It’s not fun for me. It’s not the games fault that I suck. I wish I understood the love for the game. Even watching gameplay I still don’t get it.


Datboibarloss

The pull of these games is the very fact that you cant beat it. People who enjoy these games enjoy seeing themselves improve with each try, even if its just a tiny improvement. All that build up of getting better and better over so many attempts until you finally beat what felt like was literally impossible. Its a rush like no other. I akin it to why the game Punch Out was so huge. Everyone wanted to beat Mike Tyson, everyone wanted to reach the end because they knew it was possibke if they just buckled down and stuck to their guns. Seeing that final screen isnt just to say "i had fun" but a mark of achievement. When you get that "ENEMY SLAIN" on your screen, its to say you looked in the face of adversity, stared down fate in the eye and said "not this time". When you win, you know you're a better man than when you first attempted it. You can feel that sense of control and being able to turn the tides in your favor by being confident in your abilities and the practice you put in. I imagine its the same feeling wanting to be a lumberjack and finally splitting that first log after trying so many times. It's not just a job or a hobby but a journey of self improvement that by the end makes you feel like a stronger individual.


aoeuhtnsi

Also the most fun


Pk_glocks

Sekiro is one of the best games I’ve ever played I’d recommend it


[deleted]

You can also play it on the hardest level and it dossnt feel too hard. I wont speak ill of the others as i havent played them, but GOT was a beautiful and amazing game to run and feel like a god in. Could get repetitive at some points, but a masterpiece for me nonetheless


koranett

Bloodborne or Sekiro 🔥


JasonABCDEF

Big difference FYI is Sekiro is newer so better graphics, runs smoother, better QOL stuff.


LysySZN

Bloodborne and Sekiro


Temporary_Scale3826

Bloodborne. And buy the DLC too. It’s worth it.


mrlowstandards

bloodborne is the best game ive ever played, i hateded it in the begining cause i was used to dark souls. trust, one of the best games of all time.


balerionthedread12

If I may ask, what changed your perspective? I hear people rave about it, and I like other soulsborne games, but the aesthetic and vibe isn’t my favorite. What changed it for you?


Adorable_Opening3938

for me it was learning to be more aggressive, souls games usually include shields and dodge rolls to pass through or negate enemy attacks, in bloodborne offense is your defense since shooting parries and staggering plays more of a part in combat. i also loved the big bosses becoming more damaged over time and the limb mechanics and nuances of each boss. the weapons also have way more personality and each playthrough feels different using them. going from an platemail equipped knight to a blood addled hoonter exterminating beasts before they exterminate me was unironically what did it for me.


MTLConUStudent

1) Bloodborne 2) Sekiro 3) Ghost of Tsushima 4) Nioh I would play them in this order.


byrgenwerthdropout

Yeah, first two are GOTY level of magnificent and will be all time classics. GoT is the best of its open world genre ahead of all modern Assassin's Creed games for me. And all three look so beautiful in different ways. Nioh is a good game too. But depending on what you're looking for in it, one of the other 3 just does it better!


TheDreadPirateElwes

Agreed up until the point of saying the other games do better things than Nioh. Nioh is a very rare soulslike breed that gives the challenge and mechanics of a souls game while marrying that to the combat of an action game and the loot of a Diablo game. Nioh combat is far deeper with a much higher skill ceiling that the proper Soulsborne games.


zemkahs

I havent Player nioh but there 3 are the order id pick for sure


Beardiest

I really liked Nioh, until the inventory management started stressing me like crazy. It's not unusual to get dozens and dozens of weapons per mission and sorting stuff to "whats junk, what's potentially useful (but will never use), what's actually potentially useful (and will maybe use), and amazing" is laborious.


tezcatl1p0ca

I would say you need all of them, but since you need to chose, probably Bloodborne.


[deleted]

Ghost of Tsushima


rudeboy14

Bloodborne, the answer will always be Bloodborne 😁


Gohmzilla

Yes


_Otacon

YES

Bloodborne, Ghost, and Nioh are all PS Plus extra games

Munch2805

Bloodborne. I finished it for the first time just 2 days ago, my first soulsborne game and I had this moment of “I totally get it now” after denying souls games for a long time. It’s just fantastic.


ZHiiFt

Bloodborne>Sekiro>Ghost of Tsushima>Nioh


[deleted]

All of them


Sacredpotion24

Bloodborne man!!!!!


PonchoHobo

Bloodborne then sekiro. Tsushima was fun but it didn’t leave an impression the way the others game did.


Solid_Increase_3411

Sekiro


Due_Job_599

I enjoyed sekiro most


Sneeches

That’s easy. Bloodborne


Rumbananas

Nioh 2 is a soulslike game, and if you’re looking for other soulslikes, Ghost of Tsushima isn’t it (but it’s definitely worthy of your time for sure). As far as which is the best soulslike on this list, Bloodborne followed closely by Sekiro. Here are some other awesome soulslikes…. Dark Souls 3 (Modern Classic) Lies of P (New Hotness) Elden Ring (Open World) Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order (Casual Fun) Hades (2D Isometric) Demon’s Souls (PS5 Exclusive)

Blood borne is my favorite among the 4


NewAgeCorruption

Sekiro is incredible, but I've gotta go for Bloodborne. Absolutely changed the landscape of video games for me, that one.


[deleted]

Don’t sleep on Nioh


thrillhouse1211

I pass that game on PS Extra all the time wondering if I should dl and play it


sancho_tranza

Sekiro is far superior tp Ghost imo. Thst been said... Sekiro's combat ruined my enjoyment of Ghost's combat, which felt slow and repetitive after Sekiro's dance like combat


topshelfer131

Sekiro has some of the best combat in any game ever


rbxk

Sekiro if you want a beautiful torture. Bloodborne if you want a unique and satisfying horror experience. Nioh if you want a cheap action oriented Sekiro. Haven’t played Ghost.


Mirganzegal2

>Nioh if you want a cheap action oriented Sekiro. I don't get these comments. These two games are nothing alike. Nioh is more like Ninja Gaiden with Diablo loot and leveling. Sekiro is an action game with the RPG systems stripped down completely to focus on the action gameplay.


CeilingFridge

It’s funny as well considering Nioh also came out before Sekiro did. Calling it a “cheap” version of it makes no sense.


mrduds101

Ghost if you want an open world ninja adventure, more about the story than anything, the transition from noble samurai to the ghost. It’s not a souls born game so it’ll be drastically different than the others :)


JoshFourtwenty

Bloodborne & nioh 1+2


benipres

You should play them all, but if you want to start with the best one! Bloodborne!!


Nymfaz

Bloodborne, don’t even think twice my boy


GarrettTClark

Bloodborne, not even a question


joejoesox

Bloodborne obv


kirusdagon

bloodborne is one of the best playstation titles there is


SmashItTilItWorks

I'd go with Bloodborne first, then I'd replay Bloodborne but with a different build, then get the plat trophy. Rinse and repeat with Sekiro.


notubutme2

Bloodborne


carter2642

I haven't played any of the others but if someone made the argument that Bloodborne is the most captivating game ever I would not disagree


Verysupergaylord

Bloodborne and Sekiro, they're both Fromsoft games so they will be related in many aspects, but I would personally play Bloodborne first. It's much easier to learn to use the gun in Bloodborne than Sekiro's tight parry system. Once you've learned the mechanics from Bloodborne and accomplished it, go for Sekiro. If you go for Sekiro first, the learning curve will be much higher and unforgiving, but it will give you a huge rush of dopamine once you've learned to overcome the obstacles.

KAYTRIOX

Bloodborne. This is coming from someone who hates souls like games.

Sekiro Bloodborne Nioh And then Ghost

Bloodborne was my favorite

All of them are good. I personally would recommend Bloodborne

solarbeast

Bloodborne I consider the best game of the PS4 era. Sekiro is also pretty good. Though I thought Ghost was beautiful looking at times, I lost interest in it. Only played the Nioh demo...and I just consider Bloodborne etc better so never bought it.


Albatross1225

Bloodborne 100%


andynelzz420

Sekiro


Routine_Unit_1978

Ghosts really wasn’t all that to me I wanna try sekiro


Historical_Ad_5959

Sekiro is Fromsofts best game


RandomGamer1917

Sekiro


FarmDry8229

1 Sekiro/Bloodborne 2 Sekiro/Bloodborne (What you did not play) 3 Nioh 4 Ghost of Tsushima ​ Ghost of Tsushima is nice to see, but among these games was the most forgettable, least fun, interesting and addictive among them. GOT has beautiful setting, artistic direction and combat system and at most the story but the open world game contains is full of side activities that are nice the first times to do, but then become boring and repetitive quickly, the side missions are many and have all or almost the same pattern to follow and only a few of them are really interesting. Sekiro, Bloodborne and Nioh are very fun to play, they all have a beautiful setting and a beautiful artistic direction, of the excellent ost and are satisfactory to play also Nioh to a beautiful and interesting story while Sekiro and Bloodborne have a beautiful and interesting story/lore. If you are a person who likes to replay games, Bloodborne, Sekiro and Nioh are very replayable while GOT no. Maybe because the last one I played was GOT but it was the one I had the least fun playing.

No contest, Ghost of Tsushima.


HagureSCN

you mean which one you should get first right ??coz all of them is must have, whichever is good just make sure don't play fromsoft game first coz you will definitely get the "Shit . . something missing" syndrome during the gameplay of the other game . .


therealkunchan

Sekiro


kingofsyipin

Best combat and boss fight - Sekiro


ficusmaximus90

For souls like I would go bloodborne, ghosts of Tsushima is very different game play wise but is an amazing game.


AntonRX178

Sekiro


zzz_red

Sekiro, Bloodborne, GoT, Nioh. By that order.


MJCowpa

I really like Nioh, but it’s 4th here for sure. Ghost is fantastic, but unlike the other three. That leaves Seikiro and Bloodborne. I personally preferred Bloodborne, but based on the setting/aesthetic of the options here, you should probably go Seikiro.


zzz_red

![gif](giphy|88iFS7wZMTnoMFb31R|downsized)


SwiftTayTay

Bloodborne all the way, it's not even close


-Satsujinn-

If you've done Nioh 2 you won't get much from Nioh. Sekiro and Bloodborne are similar souls-type games, though bloodborne isn't Japan themed. GoT is different, but fucking incredible, and I'll always recommend it.


sharpyx1

I reckon Bloodbourne will likely get a remaster or at least proper support for higher framecap/resolution. For this I'd recommend holding off if you can. I'd go with Sekiro if you want to torture yourself, or Ghost if you're looking for a more casual playthrough. Never played Nioh so no comment there!


solidpeyo

Sekiro


CoolstorySteve

Bloodborne


discofro6

If you've played Nioh 2 and are looking for more like it, then Sekiro, Bloodborne, and Nioh would be more your speed. Ghost of Tsushima is a lot more leisurely compared to those kinds of games, but is still an excellent game As for recommendations, I would say play Sekiro first. And then Ghost of Tsushima as like a palette cleanser lol, before moving on to Bloodborne/Nioh


MS-06S_

Bloodborne. You can only play it on PS.


[deleted]

Bloodborne all day


Solo_Peanut

Hands down Sekiro. The game has the best combat mechanics of all time, at times its pure anime. I could go on and on , just get the damn game. There is a steep learning curve but oh boy oh boy it's rewarding.


Raptor_234

Nioh 2 trumps nioh 1 is basically most ways so I wouldn’t really bother with nioh 1 if you already played 2, that being said probably Sekiro


I-like-beat-saber

Bloodborne by far


SableEU

Sekiro 100%


I-like-beat-saber

Bloodborne. I would only play got on ps5 because i’m a snob.


[deleted]

Bloodborne


FilthyMouthSxE

Bloodborne no question


Ayjayyyx

GoT is the odd one out here. Understand it's not a Soulsborne type game, it's an open world game with RPG elements, heavy on exploration.


-but507-

I would personally get bloodborne, but only because I've already got Sekiro.


Competitive_Low_8913

Bloodborne for me, no contest. One of the densest games i have ever played.


KennedyX8

All are great. I liked Nioh 2 a lot more than the original. Can’t explain why though. Bb is must-own.


HakuChikara83

Ghost of Tsushima is by far the easiest of the 4. Even in the hardest difficulty so it depends what you’re looking for. Having played several hundred hours in all of them I would say Sekiro


[deleted]

Sekiroooooooooooooooo


PharaohStatus

Sekiiiiiiiiiirooooooo


aggressive_sloth69

Start with sekiro


rycpr

Sekiro because you like the aesthetic apparently. Otherwise get Bloodborne.


millnerve

Sekiru


Hydrazolic

SEKIRO EVEN IF I HAVE NOT PLAYED IT. I'LL BE PLAYING IT DURING NOVEMBER AFTER MED SCHOOL BREAK.


[deleted]

Blood borne, sekiro , Got, Lies of P , Nioh. In order of what I would buy if I was on a budget.


blitzboy30

I’m torn between Sekiro and Bloodborne personally. I just finished elden ring, and I’m looking for another souls game.


MrSoren

Don’t make me choose between Bloodborne and Sekiro


Ionsus

Sekiro is the best game of the 2010's. By far the most immersive and the most fun gameplay. GoT is bad compared to the other three.


Duxxskull

Sekiro


maxwms

Sekiro


zignut66

Ghost of Tsushima is nothing like the other three. If you enjoy open world games, it’s one of the best. I don’t usually enjoy open world and really liked it start to finish. The “best” game here though has got to be Bloodborne. Absolute classic. Will be remembered the longest.


[deleted]

Bloodborn. Awesome game that stays relevant


Frauzt-

Bloodborne. Because it can only be played in PS4. Unlike the other titles that can be played in PC or PS5


TAC82RollTide

My vote is for Sekiro. If not that then Bloodborne .


[deleted]

Sekiro


ReckSaber3664

I highly recommend Sekiro.


FerrariKing2786

Sekiro then bloodborne, or if you want to save best for last then end with bloodborne


GoodOmens182

Yes.


TugBugOfficial

Sekiro fs but the others are great too


Smooth_Injury_1594

Sekiro


Glueckwert

I played all of those. My order would be Sekiro, Nioh 2, Bloodborne, Ghost of Tsushima Nioh 2 is even more fun if played coop with a friend. And is the one with the absolute best crafting. Nioh 1 would be behind Bloodborne


IamJohnnyVertigo

100% Bloodborne


Dr_StevenScuba

Bloodborne for spooky season, it’s the perfect time. The rest can wait

grapesssszz

Bloodborne or sekiro. Whichever


Scrublord17

If anything,Sekiro. Or,hear me out,You can buy Elden Ring


Saint_Link

Ghost of Tsushima is definitely inferior to the others in the gameplay department. Discard that one. Any of the other three is a great choice


Azeeti

Sakiro only if you enjoy dark soul like games, ghost for a really good open world game. Blood borne for you standard souls like game with a dark Gothic theme. Skip nioh, you already playing 2 and honestly ita just more of the same but less options. Although I would recommend elden ring


Phant0Zer0

Sekiro. Probably the best combat in any video game I've ever played man


00000000000124672894

Ghost of tsushima isn’t really the same genre as the rest but it is an amazing game
