I love how @Bearcat-Doug thinks this is still NintendoAge, and that liking any game released after 1995 is immediate cause for ridicule and social ostracizing! 🤣

It's okay dude, your old git credentials are FIRMLY established by this point, no one is gonna make fun of you if you can admit that at least one decent videogame has been released in the last two and a half decades! 😛

This series was a game changer for modern video gaming, there's no way I can't award it a 10/10  When Demon's Souls came out I tried a friend's copy and immediately went to import a copy for myse

Absolute 10. Among my favorite series and I could easily play any of them over and over.  I have the platinum trophy for every game, including all 3 regions for Demons Souls.

Dark Souls is a masterpiece in my book. The grimdark world, hidden lore, punishing gameplay, multiple paths open to you early on (even though there is the "expected path"), menacing bosses, area design and connectivity. I fought Sif as my third boss and I would die in 2 hits if I recall correctly. I stubbornly beat Sif after much pain and fast forward to this day: I own the First 4 Figures statue of Sif in honor of that early game Dark Souls experience I had. I played 80-90h in 8 days and beat the game, that's how into the journey I was. The game is masochistic gaming 101, not for everyone and not that hard if you chow down hard games by nature but a definite modern treat and it even popularised the gimmick of Souls-likes.

The last new game I played was Punch Out for the Wii back in 2009. I haven't owned a current gen console since the Wii and PS3, so I've literally not played anything that was released in the last 10 years.

Wow. That is a long time to be removed from current gaming.  Even if you don't like the AAA stuff there has been tons of great Indies games in that time.

I've got an entire library of NES, SNES and Game Boy games to keep me busy. I'm sure there are lots of good modern games out there, but I just don't have the time to play everything. I thought about getting a Switch, but I'd just end up downloading the entire Arcade Archives library and never buy an actual game. 😂

You and your newfangled Wii games. My most modern consoles were original XBOX and Playstation 2. I hadn't played anything more recent until I got Cuphead for PC not too long ago.

I've played the trilogy but not Demon's Souls. Super sad it's a PS5 exclusive 😢 they are amazing games, but yeah.. only those who are alright with a challenge. Voted an 8 - highly recommend.

Demon's Souls is a PS3 exclusive.

I just dont have the patience for these games that much anymore, idk. What I have played I enjoyed, 6/10

I feel like I'd enjoy 2 and/or 3 more? As they seem like they are just a bit more polished? Idk lol

1 is definitely the overall best game, but you could easily argue that 3 is more polished. It's a great game.

Don't even bother with 2. I'd only recommend it to people who already played the four other games and can't get enough. It's the opposite of polished.
