So understand when I tell you it has been extremely difficult to rank these games and put them into some kind of order; it has almost been like choosing between children… each one similar but unique in their own ways as well."
Bloodborne, Demon's souls, DKS1,DKS3,DKS2 (DkS2 is actually really great,.. just not on the same level)
DKS1 in terms of NSCs and NPC interactions though,..
Unpopular opinion, but Scholar of the First Sin is my favorite DS game. Might have been because it was the first one I played, but something about the world and setting in that game drew me in like no game has since.
Yes, I've beaten all of them lol.
This quote about DS3: "It’s almost like a greatest hits from the previous games" is why it's not the best for me, yes it's the most polished but it's also the most derivative. Great game for sure and better than DS2, which had the same problem but wasn't as good, but it had a feeling of been there done that for me with very few surprises.
Darksouls 3, demons souls, bloodborne, Ds1, sekiro, ds2
