Dark Souls 2

The best of the three, at least until Bloodborne gets its inevitable PC release, and the PC port (Scholar of the First Sin) looks much better than the console games ever did. Alongside the famously hard bosses and clanging combat, there’s a real sense of exploration in a world that’s far from open. You’re pushed in a direction, despite being able to fast travel and return to a hub, and the game is better for this. You always know something terrible is coming, so you edge forward behind your shield the first time, before getting more powerful and confident as the game goes on.
