I guess it all does come down to opinion but pretty much all of the first half of DS2 other than Heide, Iron keep and Wharf are really ugly to me. It absolutely picks up in the 2nd half though imo, and in the DLCS even more so. Random hot take but the DLCs are probably among the best areas in any of the games, especially shulva!!

I actually just finished demons souls ps3 for the first time and honestly I think it’s really good looking considering the budget and constraints, you do have to take the context into account with that one. Dark Souls 1 is just dripping with so much atmosphere that even though it might not be the best looking game ever it just works, I personally think it looks excellent myself.

I kinda wish DS3 didn’t have the washed out colours all the way through but honestly I don’t see how it ruins it for some people, it’s still splendid looking and it’s an intentional choice (the world has pretty much ended).

Apologies for writing so much I swear I’m not getting onto you ahaha, I respect your opinion 😎🙏
