The exclusive (for now) Souls-Like, from the creators of the “Souls” series themselves, Bloodborne, is a lovecraftian-cosmic-horror love letter, with the frantic Dark Souls combat, mixed with a much more aggressive core mechanic. Shields? Nope! Here you never have the time to be defensive. Be smart, be quick, be aggressive, and, mainly, trust your insight (if you got it, you got it, if you don’t, go play the game and come back here).
9. Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth
