i have a soft spot for dark souls 2, because i think it's the one with the best pvp. i spent hours at the dragon bridge dueling with other dragonbros, and the rat & tower covenants were entertaining if nothing else.

however, it is the one with the most "nothing" bosses- guys with swords that you sidestep and attack from behind

it also let down the fanbase by throwing in tons of allusions to DS1 without being connected in any way. the way that dark souls lore works, fans couldn't actually figure that out until they had scoured through the entire game. they should've just done a better job at the beginning of establishing expectations and a sense of place. to be honest, i think this is a weakness of the series as a whole.

perfect example is that one boss that is almost a carbon copy of ornstein for no particular reason other than to get your hopes up.

once you get past that shock, the self-contained lore is totally fine

it's hard to say which is my favorite. i think i played too many all in a row at once and they all kind of blend together. I played dark souls 2, bloodborne, and dark souls 3 on release because I wanted to play with my friends, and one per year was just too much- I overdosed.

i was sort of into sekiro, with it's vastly improved gameplay, but once i realized the plot was the exact same thing as every single other soulsborne game- running around and fighting to end immortality- I almost immediately stopped being interested in the game.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
