Favourite From Software Souls-like?

It's true that this playstyle has been around since the beginning.  What I don't like about Bloodborne is that they basically force you into this playstyle.  My favorite thing about the Souls games is that you can play them how you want.  The idea being that there is a bunch of challenging stuff out there that is really going to try to kill you.  Get through it however you want.  Tank up or go light armor, fast melee or slow heavy melee, or cast or use bows or use shield or parry or whatever. 

Bloodborne takes away a lot of that freedom.  Shields gone, magic gone, decent ranged weapons are gone, armor gone.  You MUST play dodge, melee.  The devs were saying, "we are trying to make an action game you have to play it the way we want you to".  Good games give the player freedom.  The other Souls games have a lot more freedom than Bloodborne does.

There is a lot of variety in BB, it is just different from the previous games. Each weapon has  different play styles, there is magic although more difficult to use and find, ranged weapons are a thing with the Evelyn and Simon's Bow. 

Well I personally loved it. And if From Soft one day decides to make some sort of Souls like wizard game, where you are forced to mainly use magic, I will be the first one to buy it and jump straight in.
