10: Dark Souls 3
Dark Souls 3 really brings back the amazing level design of DS1 to a great extent. It doesn't have the world design where every level just connects to every level in 2 different ways (exaggeration, but still). But an absolutely great game. Fantastic combat.

It took me a really long time to really start enjoying this one. But I felt like I should try. This was my third Souls game, and I absolutely love Souls games. It was difficult to get used to how slow it is. Estus healing is an amazing mechanic, but it also is the slowest healing system in any of the games, and it completely stops you for a very extended period of time.
But when everything clicked, it was amazing. It is incredible how the levels connect. It's pretty impressive that you can get from completely different levels in a minute, even without fast travel.

In a lot of ways this game is an improvement over its predecessor. Gameplay is vastly improved. Visuals are still stunning to this day.
But I would say this is not a game for everyone. It is pretty brutal.
I think a major flaw with the game is that the pacing is not great. The second part of the game feels unexpectedly long.
