only fitting i compare it to dark souls 1
soundtrack: ds1 is better and it’s ost carries a larger identity
gameplay: ds3 is miles more fun
enemy/boss design: easily ds3
world/level design: definitely ds1
visuals: ds3 is breathtaking
sound design: ds3
beating ds3 felt very unfulfilling. i thought i was about halfway done with the game, and next thing i know i’m travelling back to kiln of the first flame and fighting lord of cinder (pretty easy fight for a final boss btw… i struggled more on gwyn)
overall, i think the aesthetic of ds1 makes me enjoy it more, but ds3 is a breathtaking game. the bosses fights are significantly more enjoyable then ds1 and it’s more fun from a gameplay perspective (with better enemy design/placement, and more exciting exploration)
both are incredible games tho!
