top 11 games like Dark Souls
The Souls Series has become famous (or infamous) for its often merciless difficulty

5. Nier: Automata

The most recent game on our list, Nier: Automata bears resemblance to the Soulsborne series with its breathtaking atmosphere, challenging combat, seemingly insurmountable boss fights, and what I call introspective storytelling. By this I mean a story that focuses on both contemplation and emotional impact on the player rather than on just telling you what happens. Set in the far future, mankind is absent and the story centers around the android 2b as she faces a world filled with deadly automatons.

Slay robotic monstrosities as the Android 2B
