Dark Souls (2011)

4.44 from 416 votes
A quasi-sequel to From Software's action-RPG Demon's Souls, set in a new universe while retaining most of the basic gameplay and the high level of challenge. It features a less-linear world, a new checkpoint system in the form of bonfires, and the unique Humanity system.

Slightly aged
Better than most games that come out these days but does fall off a bit near the end + some physics jank. Essential for any fan of the souls franchise tho. 9/10
