Lords of the Fallen or Dark Souls 1 & 2 which should I start with?

Hi guys,

I’m trying to decide which one to start first: Lords of the Fallen or Dark Souls 1 and 2.

I’m planning not to buy new games for a while, so I want to pick something worth investing time into.

For context:

•	I want to get into souls/souls-like games properly

•	I don’t mind difficulty, but I don’t want something unnecessarily frustrating

•	I care about atmosphere, gameplay, and overall experience

Also, if I go with Dark Souls, should I start with Dark Souls 1 first?

I’ve heard it’s the best starting point, but honestly the graphics kind of turn me off a bit 😅

I’m also waiting for Lords of the Fallen 2, so that’s kind of influencing my decision too.

Also worth mentioning: Lords of the Fallen is currently free on PS Plus, so I already have access to it.

Would love to hear your recommendations and reasoning.

Thanks!
