I don't think BB is really that much of a "Souls" game, as people. Sure they share a lot of things in common but, when I'm playing a Souls game I feel like I'm playing a 50% action - 50% rpg game, BB feels more like a straight action game to me.
Maybe it's because I've never fullyunderstood the combat system, but even after beating older games on NG+ several times BB is still the only one I found really frustrating at times. I wouldn't recommend it as the first "entry" in the Souls series, but that's just my opinion.
