bloodborne is the best game, but it has an insane learning curve. definitely the highest in the series. in my opinion you have to beat bloodborne at least two or three times before you even start getting good at it. this partially has to do with the fact that blood vials are overpowered and can carry you through the game even if you're bad. it's still the one I'd recommend the most because it truly is the best.

dark souls 2 is the least cryptic game. if you want to have the least confusing experience, where you have a pretty good idea of where to go, start here. this isn't to be confused with a lack of options, however. dark souls 2 actually has multiple different paths you can progress down from early on and lets you play through them in mostly any order you desire.

play dark souls 1 if you're an art house hipster, then you can complain about the WORLD DESIGN of all the other games

demon's souls is pretty good but I'd have a hard time recommending it. the difficulty balance of the game is very wacky and while the bosses of the game were impressive at the time they feel really basic and silly after you've played bloodborne. the same is actually true of dark souls 1 to an extent but shh we're not allowed to talk about that. dark souls 1 is a MASTERPIECE.

never play dark souls 3 unless you have no other options.
