Dark Souls is overrated, it simply isn't fun

I never thought I’d ever see someone find a way to downplay fun.

It's true, though. Certain games aren't meant to be "fun", in the same way that certain movies, for example horror films, aren't meant to be either. Movies, games, books or whatever else, can entertain us in several different ways, and that can often mean not fun.

I guess it depends on how broad your definition of fun is. To lean into your movie comparison, I had great fun watching films like Schindler's List and The Babadook, despite the sometimes horrifying depictions of humanity in the former and the unbearable sense of dread in the latter.

Experiencing greatness is fun for me, regardless of the subject matter.
