and my own personal experience; most games I have bought in the past 10 years have been off of recommendations from r/gamingsuggestions before Reddit went to crap and Lemmy came into existence; and even moreso when it is a personal friend recommending things to me.
Mods, feel free to nuke if this feels too close to advertising or better-suited for [email protected] (my own community); I mean it more as a discussion piece but I don’t run the place.
EDIT: The “not” in the title is optional; I’m asking about both successful and failed recommendations.
I personally see Elden Ring as the second-most “Dark Souls” game after Dark Souls 1. It’s the first of the FromSoft soulslikes with an open world afaik, and while Dark Souls 1 doesn’t have an “open” world, exactly, everything is so well-connected that it feels like an open world to me.

I’d consist Dark Souls 1 open world, there just isn’t a lot of open space and you have to fight to get anywhere.
