From Software game difficulty chatis in full swingfollowing the release ofElden Ring’sShadow Of The ErdtreeDLC, but cannier Soulslikers such as myself andGR’s Hirun Cryer are already leaping and bounding ahead to the next Stage of Review Discourse: which From Software game is bestest? Here to settle the matter once and for all until the next time we post about it is company president Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Ever the diplomat, Miyazaki qualified his initial response with “of course, I love them all”. But grotty old Lordran and Yharnam are the gameworlds he appears to look back on mostly fondly, inasmuch as anybody looks fondly at a Souls game, even if they haven’t reached quite as many people as From’s later works. “On a very personal level, I would say, first Dark Souls and Bloodborne left a very big impression on me,” Miyazaki told CNET. “As a company, Elden Ring put us in a completely different league, so that was a huge milestone for the company.”
We haven’t ever published a list of the best From Software games, possibly because doing so would be akin to making a shark-diving cage out of mackerel, but we have done a list ofthe best Soulslikes. It was last refreshed in 2021, and could probably do with an update.
I have been trying to think of an elegant way to mention that Miyazaki has an actual childand that being a father might influence his future games, but I am now tired and irritable. Please just pretend I have cleverly inserted this bit into one of the paragraphs above.
