Dark souls 3 is my favorite by far. It's just more polished than the previous ones. I kinda hate how linear it is though compared to 1&2. I love that I can go back to firelink or Majula and I go to different places from there. Dark souls 3 isn't even that big in the first place so I don't see why they didn't do this. I enjoyed walking everywhere too in DS1 and only teleporting to like main bonfires. There's some mechanics they should've brought from DS2 like dual wielding. That was a really awesome thing to do if you had the required stats. I still enjoy DS3 though it's the only one I've been able to play multiple times on and make more characters.
