Dark Souls has always reminded me of Dungeons and Dragons, 1st edition. Everything is trying to kill you, but you can approach the challenges how you like: fighting, magic, backstabs, etc.... If it is like any video game, then it would be NES Zelda, except Dark Souls is more like fantasy horror instead of pure fantasy. But really I'd say it is like D&D more than anything else.

Bloodborne is probably more like Castlevania since it is more about melee fighting and it is gothic horror instead of fantasy horror.
