The one where you dodge roll repeatedly, running around a set piece world. There's only one, right?

I had a really hard time adjusting to Dark Souls III right after finishing Dark Souls I.

It was so annoying that many enemies have adopted the same aggressiveness and speed from Bloodborne, when all I wanted is to have a game of chess with each of them like I did in the first game, lol.

Orphan of Kos was the most challenging thing for me from all those games

Demon's Souls was the most challenging for me because it was the first game I tried before Souls blew up. I really struggled in the beginning. No wikis, no explanation of mechanics, everything was just so inaccessible. When I figured it out, Dark Souls 1 & 2 wasn't that particularly hard, except a few select areas and bosses. Bloodborne however, gave much headache in the beginning because it switched up the formula, taking away shields and focusing on aggressive combat, dodging and parrying. When I got the hang of the fast paced nature of the game, Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro wasn't that difficult either, because I was so used to parrying and dodging by then. Elden Ring was a cakewalk overall, the least challenging game in the franchise. Except Malenia. Fuck her. When I think about my journey with Souls, I realize that Miyazaki is a great teacher.
