@steelybel interesting observation! I can see that being the case - there's something with the early souls games (especially ds2) that is kind of messy, but full of a lot of rough/exciting ideas. Whereas in contrast, DS3/ER are more polished in a lot of ways but they feel more content on polishing certain parts of the Souls formula over others while utilizing more mainstream structures to hold it all together. E.g., while ER still has late game twists (the eternal cities, sky world, haligtree etc), it's kinda easy to see those coming from far away bc of how open world maps operate.

This reminds me that before DS3 and then its DLC came out I was excitedly speculating on its structure and levels.. but alas.

good list lmao

i think they're onto something with Super Bomberman 2 being the third best game in the history of the medium. that's the kind of stuff i love to see on these lists

@Sandonoval yeah that's exactly what happens when i boot up ds2 to play again. I think the only way i'll be able to explore again is cheats or something

@rentheunclean yeah ds2 (maybe all the souls games, idk, been a while) felt like you really had to like.. learn exactly what was expected of you. especiallyy some of those ultra hard dlc areas

cute and sweet list. u know it's real when someone plays ur recs
