Best First-Person Soulslike Games

When the camera is placed as if it’s your own eyes, the game starts to feel like a first-person shooter, and some games really emphasize that shooting feel. This doesn’t mean close-combat fighting can’t work, but it’s different from the quicker pace of a typical third-person soulslike. It encourages players to be more cautious and precise with their attacks, similar to the original games in the genre. While there are many excellent soulslike games both in the traditional style and using this first-person view, a few truly shine by capturing what makes a soulslike special, while also making the change in perspective feel natural and even essential.
