Which game has the best gameplay ?

Best gameplay in terms of what? It's vague and can change depending on what you mean.
If it's combat, I'd put Nioh first for example, but not necessarily first overall. DaS and BB are similar in most ways, but also have differences.
Sekiro is a lot more streamlined compared to those 3.

Gotta give it to Sekiro.
Nioh is probably the best at core gameplay, but it's bogged down by too many silly mechanics.

The reason why Nioh is NOT my pick is because even though it has all that, it has rather crappy, repeated levels and low enemy variety and most of its bosses don't match From Software's. The loot and upgrade system is also a pile of crap.
I vote for Bloodborne because it does so many things right. Fantastic art style, mostly great level design, compelling combat with enough weapon variety to make it very replayable, great variety of enemies and incredible bosses. My only complaints are that it's not on PC, it has framerate issues and the Chalice Dungeons are a drag and only worth playing for the unique bosses.
Sekiro at 60 fps is bliss. Great combat and traversal, tied to excellent level and encounter design.
It's pretty difficult because imo Nioh has the best combat mechanics but gameplay is not just that. Level design, encounter desing, and enemy desing it also contributes to gameplay and Bloodborne wins on most of those. Nioh's and Sekiro's enemies are pretty good but they lack in variety.
I voted Nioh because I think this is thought as a combat mechanics topic.

Nioh is the worst of those choices, I didn't really enjoy the basic combat and found it very repetitive. The others I won't pick one, I like them all for same/different reasons.
In that poll? Nioh, free. It's by far the deepest system out of the two, the gameplay isn't perfect because level design could be better n the game needs more enemy types overall.
But the enemies it has are great, the bosses are killer, and the players options absolutely clown what From Software gives you.
There is far more to get good at with Nioh, all while still having the strengths in Neutral that The from software games have.
All time? I don't know, probably a SNK fighting game.

Of the choices in the poll, I'd argue Bloodborne. Of the FromSoftware games listed, it is the least repetitive with the trick weapons and there's a real sense of impact or oomph! that the other games simply don't have. Sekiro is my least liked Souls-styled game aside from maybe Dark Souls 2 and Demon Souls because of how repetitive it plays. I'd vote;
1. Bloodborne
2. Nioh
3. Dark Souls 3
4. Sekiro
Disregarding those choices Horizon; Zero Dawn would be my overall pick for this generation. If it had the melee combat of Bloodborne, it'd be damn near perfect. But it is reminiscent of a Souls game with its emphasis on evasion.

Seriously speaking, Bloodborne is my favorite game to play of all of these. Nioh has the best combat, but the loot and I fucking hate it. It's exhausting just to think about
Haven't played Sekiro so I can't vote for that at all yet.
NiOh has my favourite combat system.
Bloodborne is probably all round the best and gets my vote. The overall gothic horror themes just made exploration part much more enjoyable.
Dark Souls is a very good all rounder with better build variety than Bloodborne. Each DS game has its own strengths and part of the fun in this is to familiarise with the systems and break it apart through knowledge and understanding. Currently suffers a bit from having so many sequels but also the fact many games are taking elements from it. Gameplay mechanics that made it unique are a lot more common, sometimes maybe even done in a more interesting way.
Dark Souls series has some of my favourite locations and set pieces.

Nioh probably. It has the best controls and variety in weapons. Sekiro is my least favorite since the heavy focus on parrying makes it feel very one-dimensional and repetitive.
Dark Souls imo.
Dark Souls offered the most choice in terms of how you wanted to play and what things affected the combat.
From wearing heavier armor that slowed you down, to using shields for blocking or deciding to go light on armor/no shield and be a dodge master, it let you, the player, decide HOW to play.
This was something they greatly took away in Bloodborne.
Sekiro, much like Bloodborne, focuses more on the action/dodging, though they have the "tool" system it feels woefully underused when it comes to combat and fighting outside of specific niche uses.
Nioh I never really played so I didn't feel fair to rate it.

Voted for Bloodborne but if we're talking in general I have to pick a Nintendo game (Super Mario Odissey? Splatoon? Metroid Zero Mission?) or maybe Super Meat Boy.
Splatoon.
It just feels right to swim in ink and shoot. Plus how the aesthetics complement the interaction.
But if it's only between the choices in the poll, dunno.
