Scott from The Controller Online writes: "Talk to anyone who has played From Software’s Demon Souls(PS3) and they will likely tell you it is the hardest game they’ve ever played. Dark Souls has been said, by From Software, to be possibly harder than it’s predecessor. It is also said to be longer and is going to feature an open world. Thought it won’t be a direct sequel it has been dubbed, but it’s creators, as a ‘Spiritual Successor’ (I hate that term, their words, not mine). So, it’s likely you’ve heard of Dark Souls but just what kind of game is it and what is it all about? To make things easy, Dark Souls is a 3rd person Action-RPG that is presented in a, for the most part, classic fantasy setting. I could just leave it there, but I’m sure you want to know what is going to make this game different from the others."

Is the OoT screenshot a comp of hyrule field with the Windows Vista desktop layered over the foreground?
Bandai Namco has released its latest financial report, revealing that the Dark Souls series has reached around 40 million units combined.
Before Elden Ring and Bloodborne, FromSoftware's talents for all things creepy and chilling gave Dark Souls an atmosphere unlike any other.
This feels like the epitome of a 'tepid take'. Dark Souls has always worn its gothic horror influences on its sleeve, it isn't exactly subtle.
mh ur right actually.
dark souls plays around with horror themes without being a straight "horror" game.
bloodborn definitely starts out as that haha.
Demon's souls was nowhere near as hard as some of the old games I've played.
Remember all those crazy bullet hell games like gradius? Now those were hard games!
How about paper boy?
Sure, demon's souls was hard for the time, but it's really nothing more than a rude awakening for people who have been playing games on the modern day easy difficulty setting. I like a challenge and don't give up on a game just because it's punishing.
"And you're right, demon's souls was hard because it was complicated. It was about calculation, timing, luck, memory, caution, stats, gut instinct, patience and daring as well as other things."
The game is brilliant.
