How Dark Souls Perfected Difficulty in Video Games

Is Dark Souls 1 or 3 harder?

If anything, DSIII is much harder, at least in the back half. The first game front-loads its difficulty, peaking with Ornstein & Smough at approximately the halfway point, and from there it's all downhill- none of the bosses in its latter half are anywhere near as challenging, at least once you figure out their tricks.

Should I play DS1 and 2 before 3?

Also, DS2 is more of a self-contained story. It was made by a different dev team and plays quite different from both DS1 and DS3. It has some rather weird gameplay mechanics that do not return in DS3. For this reason I'd suggest playing it only after DS1 and DS3.

Is Elden Ring or Dark Souls harder?

Harder than Dark Souls games? Par on Par with Ninja Gaiden I would say.

I didn't farm at all this time, I did my best to do any optional areas and get lots of items and throughout the playthrough I couldn't help but feel that the game is easier than I remember. I didn't die to any boss more than twice aside from Nito(which was 3 times I think, no more than that though).

I've beaten all 3 souls games without a guide. Don't remember how long it took to beat each. I would say DS1 took the longest because being cursed and losing the Firelink bonfire. As well as going to the bone zone first until I gave up and eventually made it to undead burg.
