I wrote an entire section about Soulsborne in my original comment but felt I was biting off too much.

Soulsborne games succeed because of exactly this. And you might notice that they’re drifting towards mainstream and that’s actually causing them to shed all the little details of what makes a Soulsborne game.

Elden Ring was ridiculously forgiving and I found it boringly easy. But it made me go back to Demon’s Souls.
