I’ve never played a soulslike games because they are a bit intimidating to me. Amy recommendations for soulslikes games to start on or for beginners to the genre?

Darksouls 1 makes the most sense, it’s where most fans started.

No way lol, dark souls 1 is likely the most difficult in the series because it doesn't hold your hand at all, and it's very easy to get lost. There's a reason it people kept comparing any super hard game to dark souls despite the fact that DS2 and DS3 were fairly accessible.

The combat is very slow im ds1 compared to other games which makes it far easier. People say dark souls meaning the whole series not specifically ds1.

I haven't played ds2 or 3 yet, but found ds1 to be easier than fallen order / sekiro with how you can level up your way through tough enemies even if you dont take the intended route

I really disliked the ability to get lost combined with the challenge in Dark Souls. In most games, if I come upon an area that's extremely hard, it's clear that I'm not supposed to go there yet. But with Dark Souls, I know it's supposed to be hard and had a harder time gauging if there was somewhere else I should be going.

I was about to recommend the same. Dark Souls is hard to get into, but it will train you to play a Souls like game like a Souls like game. However Elden Ring might be a good intro into the genre too, and is a bit more modern and accessible too.
