I have purchased via steam sale or have access to via game pass Nioh, Nioh 2, Lords of the fallen, Lies of P, Remnant 2, Wo Long and Demon’s souls remake and Bloodbourne on PS5.

I played Elden ring and enjoyed it. But, way back in the day, bought the dark souls prepared to die edition and noped the fuck out on the first boss. Fucker just trapped me in a corner and beat me to death. Refunded Sekeiro about 5 years ago after getting to a place I could not fight through, too linear as I could not avoid this either.

What should I play first to try and get a handle on this genre? Can you give me some noob tips knowing the above? Thanks.
