Dark Souls defined a genre and earned its reputation through brilliant world design, punishing but fair combat, and an atmosphere that rewards patience and curiosity. The PC version has had a rough history, but the Remastered edition fixed most of those problems. If you can accept its demands, very few games deliver this kind of satisfaction.

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is the definitive version of the most debated Souls game, bundling all three DLC expansions with remixed enemy and item placements. It's a massive action RPG with strong PvP, excellent DLC content, and enough build variety to sustain hundreds of hours. It's also the entry that makes you work hardest to love it, with world design and enemy placement that fall short of the series' best.
