The start of Press Turn combat. While not my favorite SMT game, it still has really good gameplay, and strong atmosphere. The issues I have with it are how demon fusion is pretty tedious if you want to get even a few skills that you want, the story and characters are basically nothing, and a physical build for the main character is so much more viable than magic that it's hardly even a choice as to how you build your character

Bloodborne is a faster paced Souls game with a lot of interesting weapons. I don't think it perfectly executes every idea it has, like bloodvials and quicksilver bullets, build variety is pretty limited, the later bits of the game are best to just run through, and Chalic Dungeons are my bane, but the general gameplay is very good, a lot of the bosses are pretty fun, and most of the trick weapons are very fun to play with.

Dark Souls 3 is one of those games I like, but also has a lot of flaws. It feels more like it's trying to be more like Bloodborne with its enemy design, but you still have the moveset of a normal Souls character, which leads to some frustrating situations at times, the game is very linear outside of a few instances, which is somewhat disappointing compared to other Souls games, and there's quite a few call backs to Dark Souls 1, although it doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother others. It's still fun enough to play through a few times at least

Dark Souls 2 is a guilty pleasure. I've played this game more times than I should have, mostly thanks to DaS2's larger potential for build variety, but the poor level design, nonsensical world layout, some painfully bad bosses, amateurish animations, and awful aesthetics make me question why I ever put so much time into it.

Dark Souls feels like an improvement on Demon's Souls in some ways, but a step back in others. What Dark Souls has in an interconnected world and more balanced gameplay, it loses in having less interesting locales, less gimmicky and weird weapons and spells, and also feeling derivative of DeS, retreading many ideas from the game. Overall, though, I still think Dark Souls is a great game.
