Mmmm, Severance has been on my backlog for years along with Dark Souls. Which would you recommend first on PC?
Both are excellent - the focus in Blade of Darkness is on combat, while Dark Souls has deeper character customisation, deep lore and a very large expansive and connected world. Dark Souls requires a large investment in time and effort (not to mention focus).
For me, I would start with Blade of Darkness and recommend to start with the Knight. This game is slightly easier than Dark Souls since you can save anywhere, does not have respawns, and keyboard controls are less and easier to use. But still requires fast reactions to enemy attacks, and getting used to keyboard and mouse (e.g. It took me a while to getting use to the fact that you can only strafe when you lock on enemies, but not during normal movement).
You will need patience for the first few hours with both games to get used to the controls, and prepare to die a lot in both (probably less in Blade of Darkness).
