Why is Dark Souls 3 the best Souls game?

[noisyturtle]

Demon's is great, but gimmicky and experimental
1 has a lot of charm, but is too jankey and the back-half sucks
2 has variety, but is slower and worse than 1 in nearly every way
Bloodborne is extremely good, but DS3 does everything slightly better
Elden Ring is for casuals
Sekiro is not a Souls game

That just leaves Dark Souls 3. While not perfect, it is the best we got for now.

Because it is

Roll souls. Do you really enjoy pvp? When will you realize that there is no variety in structure? Doesn't the ng+ of the game being the same get boring? Doesn't the pointlessness of collecting items after a while leave you aimless?

Only the bosses of this game are the best. I criticize everything else.

I dunno, I find it very odd.

The combat is IMO the best in any Souls game. It's the most refined of them all, Elden Ring has more moves, but more isn't necessarily better. DS3 just feels so damn tight the way the other two DS or ER never will. It has the best bosses too IMO. Suly, Friede, Nameless, I could go on and on.

The level design, eh, I dunno. Some of the individual parts are really good but the way it all strings together feels like a patchwork rollercoaster. Most boring poison swamp, too. DS1 flows pretty seamlessly up to Lost Izalith. DS2 is a mess, but a pretty, vast mess.

I know story isn't much in the forefront as much in these games, but I found it a bit uninspired, it feels like a retread of DS1. I actually enjoyed DS2 story and lore the most.

elden ring isn't as scary as ds3

Why does this question exist? It makes me feel like I'm at Grade 6 recess.

This is a matter of opinion and point of view anyway. People are free to like what they want and enjoy it the way they want. There's no "best" when it comes to such things, only tastes and people's own preference.
