Dark Souls

Description
Dark Souls is a game released by Hidetaki Miyazaki, which he has managed to re-release and sell more often to his loyal fans than Todd Howard remastered Skyrim to E3 viewers. It has unique mechanics such as a death mechanic, somewhat rare checkpoints, item descriptions, a medieval setting, bosses and lore. After 2011, when Demon's Souls was remastered on all platforms with a edgier title, renamed NPC's and a rushed second half, and the series gained popularity, other games have used parts of these mechanics. Those games are also Dark Souls, not to be confused with the titles of the official series which are all completely unique from each other.

Titles
Demon's Souls: The first and best Dark Souls

Dark Souls: This game achieved the remarkable achievement of being so broken that parts of it worked. Many of its most infamous features, like Ornstein's AI, Blighttowns Framerate, the horrible weapon upgrade system, Resistance and the final boss being fully parryable are all iconic parts of Dark Souls.

Dark Souls 2: This game fixed most of Dark Souls' errors and added more content than any other Dark Souls, but it also kept some previous content and, most importantly, wasn't made by Miyazaki, so it's the worst Souls game.

Dark Souls 3: This game was basically just pretended Dark Souls 2 never existed. It is a tribute to Dark Souls, a fanfic made by Miyazaki. The final boss is a tribute to the final boss from Dark Souls. It's the second-best Dark Souls, with Dark Souls being the best.

Dark Souls 4: This game is actually just Dark Souls again but DsFix is now available on consoles for 30$.
