After DS3 I didn’t continue the series, until ER came out and I played the hell out of that and its DLC. If you include the DLC, ER is probably my all-time favourite game. Anyway, after playing ER (but before its DLC was released), I figured I’d go through the rest of the series. DS1 was a ton of fun, I really enjoyed it, but the endgame was a bit rough. I still enjoy replaying it up to (and including) O&S and then call it quits there, unless I wanna do the DLC which is excellent. Then I played Sekiro which, if we don’t include DLCs, is my favourite of the series.
I tried to get into BB, DeS, and DS2, but none of them held me long enough to get through them.
