The punishing but rewarding Soulslike gaming genre has been steadily growing in popularity since the launch of Demon's Souls in the late 2000s. If you're looking for your next favorite Soulslike game, read on below for my complete Soulslikes tier list.
I've awarded every Soulsborne game Platinum and ranked them on a Tier List
In order to classify games in the Soulslike genre, a precise definition of what a Soulslike even is is required. Below you will find a list of games that feature tough but fair action combat, tell great stories in unique ways, have tough death mechanics, and directly tie your progress to your continued survival.
Finally, remember that this is a personal list and not objective facts. Every gamer's taste is different and we all tend towards a little more story, a little more challenge, and so on.
Okay yeah, it's probably cheating to have two games made by THE Souls guys in S-Tier, but the simple fact is: if you're looking for a Souls-esque game, who better to do it?
