All Dark Souls games ranked from foul to Elden Ring

Putting together a Dark Souls games ranked list might not be as tough as Dark Souls itself, but the challenge level is up there. FromSoftware’s grim fantasy series raised the bar on what to expect from a thoughtful action game, and when each entry excels at what it does, from open-world adventuring to dark horror, deciding which ones are best doesn’t come easily. But we did it anyway and put all the Dark Souls games in totally correct, not-at-all subjective order (it’s definitely subjective). We also took the liberty of including Bloodborne and Sekiro under the "Dark Souls" umbrella. I know Dark Souls is a classic, and I can recognize that while playing it. I just can’t get past how clunky and unrefined it is. The best Soulsborne games feel punishing on purpose and force you to adapt and improvise to get through. The first Dark Souls punishes you just for playing. Using old-school Resident Evil tank controls in a game that requires this level of precision and planning is just cruel, and it doesn’t help that
