Dark Souls Series
From Software’s Souls series is a relative newcomer, having begun only six years ago when Hidetaka Miyazaki’s obscure Demon’s Souls released for PlayStation 3. Since then, though, the Souls games have loomed large in the games industry with their uniquely dark fantasy worlds, infamous difficulty, and satisfyingly dangerous combat. The near limitless ability to customize weapons and character stats has spawned a massive subculture and a player base that remains active to this day.
