| Topic | What would you say is the best of the 3 Dark Souls? |

DS3 is the opposite of 2: you level excruciatingly slowly, and magic is unfortunately nerfed. meanwhile the combat encounters and bosses more or less require you to play a very particular way (fast melee), and since you level so slowly, it's very hard to break free from that pattern. so 3 ends up having by far the least character variability, at least on a first playthrough. So, for which is better... I think they're all good in their own way, each with their own flaws DS1: amazing first half, poorly designed second half DS2: most enjoyable in some ways, with lots of early game frustration, some less interesting level design, and great DLCs DS3: maybe the best most fluid combat, aside from too much dodging, but has some hidden flaws (no poise; magic is barely useful; less character variability); DLC content is some of the best in the series --- ...
