Controversial opinion, but I’d probably pick Dark Souls 1. It’s the one I’m most disinterested to play. DS2 is the outsider and has earned its accolades via that alone, plus it’s the most experimental DS game, which is cool. DS3 has fun world building and good combat, or rather my preferred speed, so it beats DS1 in that regard too. DS1 wasn’t particularly fun to play for me in comparison.
The others are one-ofs and have all brought something truly unique to their catalogue, culminating in ER which is arguably, next to DS1 maybe, the most influential Soulslike in existence.
What’s your take?
I’d have to pick sekiro to delete. Not that I don’t love it, but I’m too attached to all the mainline souls games. Also it doesn’t have pvp and I’m a little invasion gremlin.
That and if we delete dark souls 1 we wont be able to play the remastest edition with bonus halo content and this hurts my heart.
