Dark souls Is known for many things, but apart from starting a whole new genre, many associate with difficulties. The game requires concentration on another level and drives players to their physical and mental boundaries, and to punish their mistakes from start to finish.
But even though it is practically the poster child for the challenge, there are some other games out there that are ranked slightly higher on the difficulty scale. Some come from Frommare's expansive catalog, and others are completely different developers who have succeeded in showing that a world-class-soul-like soul can be made by someone other than the original creators.
Seciro: shadows die twice
The foremost soul
- Difficulty: 4.49/5
Seekiro overrides the endurance -driven battle of Dark souls In favor of razor knife rings and break -down speed. Success is not due to cautious strikes but on perfect time -set defects that punish hesitate, and many veterans in the genre have said that this game blows every other title from the park when it comes to difficulties.
Bosses are graceless and require mechanics mastery with little room for errors. The healing is limited, and death often restores hard -earned progress to taking down the next big barrier. It is a game that only rewards perfect version and serves its reputation as Frommare's most unforgiving creation.
Dark Souls 2
Test patience more than ever
- Difficulty: 4.34/5
Often called the black sheep of the franchise, Dark Souls 2 Followed the breakout hit with a larger world full of even more threats and a huge list of managers for players to learn and challenge. The real difficulty comes from the number of enemies and their investments, as well as some extra mechanics such as Hollowing, which made death even more frustrating than they already were.
Its punitive design forces players to adapt to awesome meetings and unpredictable stimulation in a way that the other games simply did not require. With spreading areas filled with traps, bullies and sometimes some rather unfair meetings, Dark Souls 2 remains one of the toughest posts out there for both newcomers and returning players.
Nineh 2
A rare perfect follow -up
- Difficulty: 4.30/5
Nineh 2 Mixes soul-like structure with fast, combination-heavy battle that requires split-second reflexes and a broad knowledge that will succeed fully. Players must juggle positions, handle KI and master a large arsenal of weapons while facing Ferocious Yokai in a world that is both frightening and deeply challenging.
The difficulty is reinforced by intricate systems and punitive managers who strike with overwhelming force. Even less enemies can tear away unprepared players for a few moments, which requires them to prepare for the worst all the time. It is a game that rewards obsessive commitment, with a level of challenge that exceeds Dark souls in both complexity and intensity.
Dark Souls 3
Terminates a phenomenal era
- Difficulty: 4.34/5
Dark Souls 3 Pushes the series to new levels of difficulty by speeding up the battle to new speeds and extending boss designs to new heights. The pace leaves some room for recovery, forces players to respond directly or meet defeat, and the number of traits that every enemy and manager has means that players can never let their guard.
Bosses is among the most brutal in the series, often chain -like attacks with barely a break. The latter areas of piles at relentless meetings, demanding endurance and precision from beginning to end and an attention level that has never been exceeded since then. Too many, Dark Souls 3 Represents the franchise on its hardest, surpasses its predecessors through pure intensity and rounds off one of the games' most beloved trilogies in style.
