For me, it's probably a toss up between Sekiro and Bloodborne. I've finished the games in their entirety probably around 4-6 times - either for their respective endings, just for fun, or trying to do a challenge run, like a BL4 Bloodborne run. Lies of P follows them closely at around 4 and soon 5 once the DLC rolls around.
Bloodborne and Sekiro were my first two soulslikes, and once it clicked, I was obsessed with both. I got platinums, watched video essays, listened to the OSTs all the time. They're very near and dear to me.
What is your most-played soulslike?
I got a switch as a birthday present a few years ago, so I've been waiting for the battery to go or for the steam deck oled to go on sale, whichever happens first. I spend an hour on the train every time I go to the lab, so it'll be well worth it.
I'm playing Hades right now, even though I was planning on finishing Mario+Rabbids after putting it on pause for years lol. Although for Hades my skill ceiling might be around heat 15. I still win some but half of the runs are a slog.
Gotcha. A Switch is pretty much the next best thing, I recon.
I love Hades. I haven't tried too many heat levels - I just played the game without any modifiers for the story. Really looking forward to Hades 2's official release
The story combined so well with the gameplay, I love it. So I've stayed away from Hades 2's early access so that I get the full experience the first time I play it.
