Ranking the hardest Soulsborne games based on their difficulty can be just as tough as the games themselves. We have the Dark Souls series that popularized the genre. Then we have the various iterations of the games with Bloodborne and Sekiro. And we haven’t even mentioned the latest entry Elden Ring, one of the best games of all time and not just any good Soulsborne game. But when you compare them head to head, which one is truly the hardest? Without further ado, let’s find out the answer to that question in this list of all Soulsborne games ranked by difficulty.
Ranking every Souls game from easiest to hardest (including Elden Ring)

Here are all of the games, ranked from easiest to hardest.
7. Demon Souls 6. Dark Souls 5. Elden Ring 4. Dark Souls 3 3. Dark Souls 2 2. Bloodborne 1. Sekiro
Below is my reasoning for why each of them was placed in those positions.
