Developer: OverBorder StudioPublisher: Team17Released: 2022- Elden Ring. It’s impossible to talk about soulslikes without mentioning Elden Ring – so let’s get it out of the way. Like pretty much every other outlet, PCGamesN rated it the Game of the Year in 2022, and if you somehow still haven’t played FromSoftware’s (current) magnum opus, you won’t find a better – if a little extra intimidating because of its sprawling open world – soulslike to get started with.

- Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Only one more FromSoftware game – I promise. Where the Dark Souls games created the genre, and Elden Ring broadens it into an open world, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice makes it more of a katana-heavy action game.
- Lords of the Fallen. With the FromSoftware games out of the way, the most recent and high-profile soulslike release is Lords of the Fallen. A reimagining of a 2014 game of the same name, Lords of the Fallen borrows a lot from the original Dark Souls, to the point that from movement and visuals alone, you’d think you were once again adventuring through Lordran.

- Bloodborne. Many fans consider Bloodborne to be the best Soulslike game of all time, and it has a reasonable claim on that title. The world is sparse and dangerous with eldritch horrors looming behind every corner.
- Nioh 2. Team Ninja (the creators of Ninja Gaiden 2) put together what's often considered the best Soulslike game that wasn't developed by FromSoftware.
- Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. There's a lot of chaos in most battles in the Star Wars universe, but Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order focuses that action into a tight, Soulslike package that delivers something unique to the franchise.
