I'm playing Soulslike for the first time and wanted to play the original games before Elden Ring. I've bought Dark Souls 1-3, should I play the other games as well or jump to Elden Ring after those?

I'd say play Darksouls 1 then DS 3 since they're kinda connected. DS 2 isn't really connected that much to the others.

You have to play Bloodbourne though. Arguably one of the best fromsoftware games. Demon souls is also really good. But out of the two I'd rather pick Bloodbourne to play. Playing all of them will take a while to finish/explore.

I'd say go in chronological order
That way you can see the changes/improvements they make in the series overtime
Plus the original dark souls is kinda clunky compared to the others, so that might turn you off if you try to play it later
