I've originally hated them, and only played the easier ones(Jedi Fallen Order, Code Vein), but I have seen the light. I'm near the end of The Surge 2, and I'm 2 bosses into Bloodborne, and these games are so fun.

Where should I go next, the 3 Souls games in order?

Play Dark Souls 1 and 3. 3 is the real follow up to Dark Souls

Also Demon's Souls

no, stop telling people to skip 2. literally makes no sense. it's not a bad game and it's worth playing the series in order.

2 is my favorite, demon's souls was my first

I'm under the impression that people who dislike 2 probably played dark souls 1 first and only wanted a a copycat/expansion game instead of something new

Why is that I wonder because I feel the same way. On paper, 3 is way better with its faster combat, more expansive areas and better boss fights, but ,yeah, I prefer ole janky 2 for whatever reason even though so many of the decisions with it annoy me to no end. It is so bizarre.

Although, 1 will always be my favorite. Everything about that game is so iconic. Superlative level design and verisimilitude, well at least until you get the lord vessel that is, but the DLC ends things on a good note, so we can forget about lost izaleth and the demon ruins.

2 is more frustrating, but has way more character variability, so ends up being funner to replay
3 has a way better engine, but has way less character variability, so ends up being less fun to replay

in all three of them, though, some of the best parts are the DLCs

Fuck Lords of the Fallen, that shit is just clunky as fuck, and Nioh seems too ridiculous. I saw footage of Dunkey playing it, and that just doesn't even look fun.

Where should someone start when trying a Soulsborne type? What game is a good place to begin?

Are you looking for an easier one to get your feet wet first, or trying to dive in?

If you want to just get your feet wet first. I'd suggest you try a Soulsborne lite game, like Fallen Order or Code Vein. If you want to just dive in, apparently Bloodborne is the best at teaching you how to properly play Soulsborne games.

Here's a video essay on why Bloodborne is the best at teaching you how to play the Soulsborne games, but it's like an hour and a half, so it's not for everyone:
