#2 Dark Souls
Have you ever heard of dying a lot as a video game mechanic? Dark Souls puts it to full use as it forces you to master your ability at the game, which is something you’ll have to do if you expect to make any progress whatsoever. Prepare to die a lot.
Set in the strange land of Lordran, players must venture through this bleak and foreboding land of the dead in an attempt to ring two magical bells and reclaim their humanity.
