No one nails challenges that push your skill level like Capcom. It is the basic dungeon brawler, that relies on equipment sets and weapon upgrades, as well as learning the patterns of enemies and layout of dungeons. While Monster Hunter is the big weight game, where skill is all that can save you, Dark Souls is the rep challenge, where you are capable of becoming very powerful, but can always fall into cycles of dying for unknown reasons.ĭark Souls was the game that brought about Nioh and other titles. These are different avenues, but both equally challenging. One man attempts to take on bench pressing 500 pounds for the first time, and sweats under the challenge, while another man takes on benching 200 pounds for 50 reps. I liken to the power lifter versus the fitness expert. But you have some games, that are near insurmountable in challenge, where you wonder at times, if you will every overcome the difficulty, and then you have games that you know you can overcome, but wonder how you will weather the brutal challenge that requires patience. They were meant to push us physically and mentally to new levels. I have always appreciated hard games, because to me, that's what video games were created for in truth. Monster Hunter might have come the closest of all games I know, besides a couple of obscure titles like The Red Star. What I've come to find in difficulty in video games, is that very few games have the ability to nail it just right. It really focuses on being as hard as possible, and I will discuss the different types of hard. After looking it over and researching it for quite a while, and completing Nioh in the process, I began to consider Dark Souls, as it has its own separate lore, and does make some effort to distinguish itself from the usual tasteless blood, gore, and deemo games, which I despise. I really fell in love with dungeon brawlers when I played Genji on the same system. I heard about the game when it came out all those years ago, but although I was becoming a fan of the genre, I didn't like the cover art that much and was a bit put off by the dark nature.

This is a company famous for making very gritty and tough games such as their famous Armore Core series. The game was originally released on the Playstation 3 in September of 2011.

So this marks my completion of the famed difficult juggernaut of a game- Dark Souls Remastered.
