Hard disagree on this one 1.bloodborne Perfects "soulslike" combat, has enough of dark souls 1's world design that it doesn't feel like straight paths but not enough that the player gets lost. The best atmosphere of any of these games. 2.sekiro Incredible story and world, bosses are unrivalled and combat is near perfect. 3. Dark souls 1 The first half has perfect vertical world and level design, the combat still feels responsive and satisfying and while some of the bosses are a little wonky the game is still very forgiving for new players with the world design allowing for a come back later approach to feel forgiving to new players 4. Dark souls 3 Great combat, very interesting themes however it's clearly catered towards veterans of the series to the point it can be extremely unforgiving to new players. Far far too many bonfires and quite dull level design (outside of the cathedral of the deep) 5. Elden ring Great for the first 30 hours or so, suffers due its scale as the developers have no idea how powerful a player will be at any point of the game meaning that the end game areas and bosses are broken in terms of difficulty and are mostly designed around summons to be fair. Unrewarding exploration, excessive reuse of bosses and basic enemies used as bosses taking the novelty out of encounters. It's high points are it's legacy dungeons but none of them are as good as areas in the games placed above. Quests were also nearly impossible to complete on launch as map size made it incredibly hard to find any npc meaning that the story was heavily impacted negatively. 6. Dark souls 2 Really jarring combat but brings a lot new to the formula with a lot of it working and being used in later sequels. Majula is the best soulslike hub. Extremely mid boss design with few highlights. Best dlc of the series though. 7. Demons souls Haven't played it, can't give a rating.

Dark Souls 3 at #1 is crazy. Dark Souls 2 and 3 were mostly unnecessary. Miyazaki wasn't in charge of from when the sequels were pushed out, now that he is I doubt we are gonna see sequels pumped out like the souls series. That's a good thing each new IP brings something fresh and doesn't convolute the story of its predecessors. I would rank Dark Souls 2 & 3 at the bottom due to this, neither really stands on their own. They both have neat ideas and gameplay but lore wise they are a total mess. I do think Armored Core and perhaps Kingsfield will receive sequels going forward, but they are not Miyazaki originals and have a history of sequels already well-established.

Miyazaki did direct DS3 I believe, but other than that I'm with you. It's lore and atmosphere that puts DS1 at the top for me, despite a weaker late game and less polish than some of the other entries. My own list would probably be the same as the video except with DS1 and DS3 swapped. At the end of the day I think it comes down to what you are looking for and personal preference.
@BluethunderDarkSouls17 сағат бұрын
Yeah miyazaki directed ds3, ds2 is the one not directed by him, if you want to go in terms of lore and story, yeah ds1 is definitely more coherent and well defined but for me what i most enjoy about fromsoftware games is the combat, that's why I love ds3 and put it at the top it has the most consistently well done fights and the bad fights it does have are easy so its negligible. Ds1 has great fights but the combat in ds3 is just the best I've experienced personally.

Br knew I forgot smtn, ill tell you here rq then, Str/Dex is what I mainly leveled since it has split scaleing there, that plus lloyds sword ring for 10percent more at max health, the pontiff right eye for 10percent at maximum with succesive attacks, I sometimes used dragon torso stone roar for extra dmg, mainly pontiff. lastly i used flynns ring alot for the damage boost from low equip load. All that combined gives you the "massive" damage I deal throughout.

16 hours 38 minutes, that for what you see in this video at least, currently im working on bare fisting the dlc but its taking time , at 16:39 in video I opened up my char menu to show time taken, this wasnt my first low dmg run though ive done broken straight sword of ds3 so I had practice for a run like bare fists, nevertheless it was still a step up in terms of difficulty. Thanks for watching btw, ill be doing more runs like this soon.
