I think Sekiro is pretty much perfect. If you like its aesthetics, its theme and have the patience to learn its combat system (which is basically a rhythm game with QTEs), then you're in for something special. I don't like its presentation and combat, so the game is a fucking piece of shit. That monkey can go burn in Hell. Despite my opinion on it, i can still appreciate what it is. A perfect game if you vibe with it.
Dark Souls: Remastered up until, and including Anor Londo (and its secret areas, like going back to the starter area, and the painting world), all in all is the greatest game ever made. It is a remarkable experience, and its quality is unlike anything you'll ever experience. After that, it falls off haaaard with a lot of bullshit.
The thing with every Souls game up until Elden Ring is that there's a lot of bullshit present that will impede enjoyment. Elden Ring streamlined the formula to be very accessible for a wider demographic, and i believe it has the least amount of bullshit because of this. Dark Souls II is basically 90% filled with it, amongst many, many technical issues and lack of polish (it had a troubled development process), so avoid that foul thing till the very last.
Dark Souls III is more of the same.. Extremely solid all around. Fantastic first experience, i think. But i wouldn't play that right after Elden Ring, since it feels like an infinitely more linear, lesser thing than Elden Ring. Not as unique as Dark Souls: Remastered, and not even close to being as good as Dark Souls: Remastered's first half.
I can't say anything about Bloodborne because it's stuck on a dead system with shitty framepacing. Release it already on PC so everyone can play it, From/Sony/Whoever can greenlight this, for God's fucking almighty sake. Heard farming for blood vials sucks ass tho, so i dunno.
Here's what i suggest. Give Sekiro your immediate attention. It's so different from the rest and so highly polished in what its doing that you will not burn out. Then play Dark Souls: Remastered. It's an essential experience, it's just so God damn good in its first half with so many memorable moments. And who knows? Maybe you won't be so pissed of in its second half, maybe you'll enjoy that as well.
After that, do whatever you want.
