DS1 was one of the best survival horror games of all time, no lie.

DS2 was pretty great too.

DS3.... ...had some problems.

I loved DS3.

Someone stopped being friends with me over that, so I may be a little entrenched in my feelings for that game. But I loved everything about it -- I liked the completely rejiggered gameplay, I loved the setting (how could I not, as a fan of The Thing?) I loved that they had officially 100% stopped fucking around with the whole Lovecraftian horror element and went straight for the ambiguous downer ending -- twice!

I'm not sure it's my favorite game in the series (Extraction continues to reign supreme) but it's definitely pretty close to what I wanted out of DS1.

Also, anything to do with the Feeders is legit creepy.

I didn't dislike DS3, and I played it through twice (once solo, once co-op, with plans to switch players and play it again co-op but I never got around to it) but it sure did have problems. The micro-translations weren't as bad as I'd feared, but the hammy token British bad guy was so awful it actively detracted from my experience even though it's a game that's more about blowing limbs off than enjoying the story. The relationship, er, drama was also cartoonishly bad.

Also while it was certainly re-jiggered, it wasn't re-jiggered enough, and after multiple playthroughs of all games in the series I am just too good at killing necromorphs. They are no longer scary; it's like a job now: 1) ~SCARY MUSIC~, 2) back off into a corner without a vent, 3) arm arm leg leg stomp, arm arm leg leg stomp, rinse, repeat... Me and my co-op partner beat it on the no deaths allowed mode just by cheesing the same strategy over and over again.

Also the optional dungeons are too repetitive. Also, the human enemies are really lackluster.

But! I certainly did not hate it, and people are dumb: the co-op was rad fun at parts, and the microtransactions didn't even matter.

I enjoy all of them on their own merits tbh, though I wont discount that DS3 has a couple of problems they were never enough to detract from my enjoyment of the game and I really liked the co-op element, got to play the game through with my bf and talk about it then rather than wait for each other to complete it so we could discuss it. Plus I just kinda like co-op games in general.
