Of the three Dark Souls games, I think I've landed on this one as my favorite. It takes some of the best elements of games in the Zelda and Metroid series and infuses them with brutal difficulty in a dark fantasy setting. I loved discovering how interconnected the world is, and there's nothing quite as relieving as finding a shortcut to your nearest bonfire after a particularly grueling ordeal. This isn't the very best of the FromSoftware formula, but it's clear that they had something here that worked, and they crafted a unique experience around it.
