30 Best Soulslike Games | GPA Scores Compare Difficulty × Exploration × Combat Design
· Soulslike Games List
30 soulslike recommendations sorted into 4 types using GPA analysis — open-world exploration, classic FromSoftware, parry-forward action, and indie 2D variations.
· Featured titles
Elden Ring · Dark Souls III · Bloodborne · Sekiro · Lies of P · Hollow Knight · Black Myth: Wukong

Die, learn, retry — that's the soulslike core. Bonfire restarts, memorizing enemy tells, risking souls or runes on death. Players who know the label usually search for exactly this tension.
Even when hunting "soulslike," the gameplay you want differs — open-map exploration, classic FromSoftware weight, or SEKIRO-style posture breaks through parries. Same genre label, different games that click.
Using GPA tag trends, we sort 30 titles into 4 types and analyze them — so you can find what fits based on gameplay and the experience you're after.
What Is a Soulslike?
Soulslike is the label for high-stakes action RPGs built on die-and-retry loops, pattern-reading combat, and worlds that refuse to over-explain — lineage traced to Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.
Hallmarks include stamina or posture management, checkpoint bonfires, death costs (temporary soul/rune loss), and lore read from item text and geography more than cutscenes.
Modern forks include Elden Ring's open worlds, SEKIRO's parry focus, and 2D spins like Hollow Knight — same genre name, very different feel.
Representative Games
Six names to know first — from genre origin to modern hits. Full write-ups are in the 30-game list below.
- Elden Ring — Open-world soulslike apex — exploration and die-and-retry tension together.
- Dark Souls III — The 3D soulslike standard before Elden Ring.
- Bloodborne — Aggressive combat and hunter lore — classic lane's wild sibling.
- Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice — Parry-first pinnacle — posture breaks through deflects.
- Lies of P — Modern full-parry pick — Pinocchio dark fantasy.
- Hollow Knight — 2D souls grammar — metroidvania crossroads.
Four Soulslike Types — Exploration vs. Combat Weight
Looking at GPA tags — Open World, Soulslike, High Difficulty, Parry — soulslikes fall into four design patterns.
① Open-World Exploration
Bonfires exist, but you choose the route — wide fields, optional bosses, and build growth layered on soulslike tension. GPA often tags these at the open-world × soulslike crossroads.
Representative games:
Elden Ring / Dark Souls III / Code Vein / Remnant: From the Ashes
② Classic FromSoftware Line
The Dark Souls / Bloodborne / Demon's Souls blueprint — weighty combat, pattern reading, bonfires, and lore told through the world. What most players picture when they hear "soulslike."
Representative games:
Demon's Souls / Bloodborne / Dark Souls Remastered / Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
③ Parry & Fast Action
Soulslike bones with parry, deflect, or just-dodge systems up front — the post-SEKIRO lane built on duel satisfaction. Watch GPA's Parry, High Difficulty, and Action tags.
Representative games:
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice / Lies of P / Nioh 2 / Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
④ Indie / 2D Variations
Soulslike grammar in 2D side-view, top-down, or hybrid formats — from Hollow Knight to Expedition 33. A lane for players who want the loop without full 3D action RPG scale.
Representative games:
Hollow Knight / Hyper Light Drifter / Death's Door / Kena: Bridge of Spirits

① Open-World Exploration
Bonfires exist, but you choose the route — wide fields, optional bosses, and build growth layered on soulslike tension. GPA often tags these at the open-world × soulslike crossroads.

Elden Ring
Genre: Action RPG
Elden Ring takes FromSoftware's Soulslike combat into an open world designed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin. The Legacy Dungeons preserve the dense, interconnected level design of earlier entries while the Lands Between rewards patient exploration. GPA scores it at 95% for both Difficulty and Action — the highest Action score in the database.
Gameplay Profile
Key tags: Action / Dystopian Setting / Graphics / High Difficulty / Open World
· Game Overview
Cross the Lands Between on horseback — bosses when you choose, builds that swing wide via gear and talismans. The current open-world soulslike apex.
· Gameplay Analysis
GPA scores Open World, Soulslike, and High Difficulty all high. Works for explorers and die-and-retry fans alike — including those who get lost in the scale. The baseline for this list.

Dark Souls III
Genre: Action RPG
Dark Souls III accelerates the series' pacing and sharpens its boss design into its most refined form. The lore runs through item descriptions and environmental detail rather than cutscenes. GPA scores it at 90% for both Difficulty and Lore Focus — two axes that define the experience more precisely than genre alone.
Gameplay Profile
Key tags: High Difficulty / Dystopian Setting / Dark / Action / Existential Themes
· Game Overview
The pre–Elden Ring pinnacle of FromSoftware's 3D soulslikes — more linear hubs, but shortcuts and branching routes still reward exploration.
· Gameplay Analysis
On GPA. Not as wide as Elden Ring, but bonfire links and boss order choices are textbook soulslike design. A common fallback when Elden Ring feels too big.
Code Vein
* GPA game analysis page coming soon
· Game Overview
Anime-styled vampire soulslike — wide zones with NPC companions and blood-code builds. Softer than core FromSoftware titles.

* GPA game analysis page coming soon

Demon's Souls
Genre: Action RPG
Demon's Souls was FromSoftware's proof of concept for the Soulslike format, and the PS5 remake preserves the original's structure in high fidelity.

Gameplay Profile
Key tags: High Difficulty / Dystopian Setting / Action / Dark / Graphics

Bloodborne

The Surge 2
* GPA game analysis page coming soon

SF soulslike about limb targeting and looting parts — tutorial-heavy onboarding, then pattern combat. Learning cost from a different angle.

On GPA. High Difficulty, Parry, and Soulslike all score strong — modern Bloodborne-adjacent mood on current hardware.
Nioh 2
Genre: Action RPG
Nioh 2 builds its samurai action around the Soul Core system and a Yokai Shift transformation that temporarily unlocks a second move set. The Burst Counter mechanic rewards reading specific enemy attacks. GPA scores it high on Action and Difficulty — the combination that places it in the Soulslike cluster while the transformation system provides a mechanical layer Dark Souls entries lack.
Gameplay Profile
Key tags: Action / High Difficulty / Graphics / Dark / Dystopian Setting
· Game Overview
Sengoku demon soulslike at high speed — stance swaps, onmyo, guardian spirits, absurd build branching.
· Gameplay Analysis

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Genre: Action RPG
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty reframes Three Kingdoms history as dark fantasy and builds its combat around a Spirit Gauge system where aggressive play generates meter for powerful deflections. GPA scores it high on Action and Difficulty, sharing the Soulslike tag with Elden Ring while running lower on Open World.
