Demon Souls, couldn’t get into it the first time, then I gave it a shot sometime later but with a guide for only the order to do levels ( I have no walkthrough policy) , it is fantastic (ps3)

I have played only demon souls which I did stop after the second world because I could not understand how to approach a soulslike. But I completed it later after reading a few guides. Also I don’t have experience of playing a 2nd soulslike so I cant say why would one stop playing but my best guess would be that when one understands the flow of the game he may choose to not continue with it.
