Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and which is your favourite NPC summon from a lore perspective?

I gave SotE another try yesterday and I remembered why I don't like Elden Ring compared to the other soulslikes I've played. Not sure I want to give it another shot.

Don't have a favourite summon since I don't use them often enough. Maybe Gascoigne because you can summon him as a hunter before he turns into a beast?
