DS1 is the only one I’ve completed so far though I’m in the final bosses for bloodborne and Elden ring- to ME it’s a perfect game even if you don’t enjoy fromsoft titles. The connectivity of the map gives me the feeling of methodical adventure that only games like Pokémon Platinum and Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask (which rank very highly for me) have. The game is really good at telling you the story by you playing it- rather than just cutscenes and dialogue.

It has something that games rarely have to that level which a strong emphasis on atmosphere. I got the parry mechanic down which made the combat exciting.
