Demon bosses are not easy, they are gimmicky

If you never played the original and don't follow internet guides they can be quite tiresome to deal with. Fools Idol for instance is annoying to fight if you don't kill a specific NPC before the combat

Demon is fantastic, but has its problems. First you're killed and sometimes sent back to the start of the level. There are levels that really felt like roguelike mazes to traverse and you take 5 to 10 minutes to reach the boss again, making it tiresome to master the boss battle and finally defeat them 

Horrible design if you think because this game is much much harder than a Roguelike. Dark Souls acknowledge this problem and at least puts a bonfire before boss fights

Loot management is ass, too much trash on your inventory and if you take sometime you can infinitely farm healthy items (I definitely did)

Character tendency is quite obnoxious and not explained, it was a missed opportunity 

And of course the fact the 5 world's are not interconnected is a huge downgrade from Souls (although in this case is Souls the one who is the upgraded version)

If you are an experienced Souls player it's a easier game to cheese. Nothing like the brutality of Souls 1 or 2 who seems to take pride in torture the player

I never played dark souls 1 and 2. Well i did play 2 for like 30 minutes and thought it was garbage, the graphics looked like crap and felt too clunky. The games that i have played and with my ratings.

Sikero is a 10

Bloodborne 9.5

Dark souls 3 8.5 I think this one could much higher at 60fps instead the janky 40-45fps on ps4 pro.

Eden ring 70 hours in is a 9.5 so far.

For me the boos battles is a huge reason i love these games, and when hearing the bosses are easy compared to most souls games is the only reason i didn't buy it.

2 is very cheap and has strange and clunky controls indeed, specially for rolling/dodging. Rest assured the controls of Demon Souls are very good, fluid and responsive as should be expected from a proper PS5 game

Bloodborne is brilliant, albeit a little constrained. I like to have options in builds and playstyle and honestly always felt like Bloodborne don't offer it, otherwise 10/10 game for me. Dark Souls 3 offers a shit tons of options to make builds, but not every one of them are viable, seems a game that is not well thought to a builds, with the intelligence builds being particularly unreliable for most of the game. 

Elden Ring completely trumps both in this aspect. I have 4 saves (an intelligence build, an arcane build, and str/faith build and a dex build) and ALL them are not only viable, but also absolutely fun to play. The amount of depth and richness in the weapons, builds and overall combat is far beyond anything else in game industry. It's not the game of the generation is the game of the life!
