Too close to call: the world picks Bloodborne over Dark Souls by just 51% to 49%. Bloodborne is #64 of the 1,100 video games in the world ranking and Dark Souls #74; among the 401 from the 2010s, they are #23 and #29.

The case for each

Bloodborne: FromSoftware's 2015 PlayStation 4 game: a hunter in the gothic city of Yharnam, where a blood plague turns into cosmic horror. Faster and more aggressive than Souls, and fans still wait for a PC version.

Dark Souls: FromSoftware's 2011 game of a cursed undead in the fading kingdom of Lordran: hard but fair combat, bonfires and an interconnected world. 'The Dark Souls of…' became a phrase for anything difficult.
