I think the only change on my last update is the addition of Elden Ring. It’s a comfortable second for me. I definitely prefer Dark Souls III – it feels more carefully curated and more balanced, there’s not much repetition (Elden Ring by contrast frequently duplicates assets, dungeons, and bosses), and the boss fights are more memorable in my opinion.
I’ve kept the other rankings the same, but the gaps between certain entries have changed for me over the last year or so. I now put The Surge and Bloodborne much closer together (my view of Bloodborne has improved a lot), and Dark Souls II is a much more distant 5th.
