Best soulslike games in 2025

What are the best soulslike games? An off-shoot of action RPGs, the defining principles of this ever-growing subgenre sprung up from Demon's Souls back in 2009. However, it took the release of its spiritual successor two years later to really light a fire under fans. FromSoftware's Dark Souls is a landmark game in many respects, but the soulslike genre is its greatest legacy.

The modder behind the most popular Elden Ring mod of all time, which makes online play much simpler, has finally released a version of it for the first Dark Souls.

Wahey, Dark Souls Remastered's seamless co-op mod is out now, provided you don't mind potentially having to battle some bugs on top of the bosses

Damn, that was fast. When modder Yui announced last month that they were working on a seamless co-op mod for Dark Souls: Remastered, but were still early on in the development process, I figured it might not arrive before Elden Ring Nightreign drops next month. But, lo and behold, here it is!

He's doing it again. FromSoftware modding savant Yui, creator of the wildly popular Elden Ring seamless co-op mod and the only just released Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op mod, is now doing the same with Dark Souls: Remastered...
