Souls series
Souls is a popular game series that has become famous for its hardcore gameplay features. In the games of this series, from the very beginning of the gamer's playthrough, they are met by very strong monsters and bosses who can kill the main character in a couple of hits or even faster, and the only way to avoid such a fate is to dodge and heal.
The protagonist in Souls games has a level, a large number of different stats, many equipment slots, and dozens of weapons. Each playthrough of Dark Souls or Bloodborne will be different from the previous one in one way or another, since this series has not only hardcore, but also aspects that make it as replayable as possible.
It’s also quite difficult to understand the plot in Souls games, since all the NPCs speak little and you have to look for answers yourself.
