Souls Game Series
Souls is a popular game series that became known for its hardcore nature and gameplay features. In these games, players encounter very strong monsters and bosses from the very beginning, who can kill the main character in a few hits or even faster, and the only way to avoid such a fate is to dodge and heal.
The protagonist in the Souls games has a level, a large number of various attributes, numerous slots for equipment, and dozens of types of weapons. Each playthrough of Dark Souls or Bloodborne will differ in one way or another from the previous one, as this series not only has hardcore elements but also aspects that make it highly replayable.
Additionally, in Souls games, it's quite difficult to understand the plot, as all NPCs say little, and players have to search for answers themselves.
