Is Dark Souls (any of them) worth a shot? Somehow ever got round to playing them.
For PC none of that console nonsense.

Is there a single player mode yet??

After taking one hell of a beating on Sekiro I opted not to fire up any of these, as I imagine they'd have much the same outcome for me.
Well that’s me out then as Sekiro almost drove me to insanity.

I enjoyed playing this when it first came out, and I think it was a pity that the devs got hammered for it as there is a very decent world in there, although the game is a bit clunky and overcomplicated in places. Once some of the major problems were ironed out, it became a lot of fun. Haven't played it since the Wastelanders update, but I think it looks worth a go (actually, not sure if I've even downloaded the update). At least they persisted with getting it up to the sort of standard it should have been at on launch, when it would have been easy to abandon it.
I’m a massive fan, but as said above, I’d your not a fan of the Souls-like genre (Sekiro included) then I’m not sure they’d be for you.
They’re certainly not as challenging as Sekiro as there are way more RPG options for making a ‘build’ and if you know what you are doing, then you can get yourself fairly OP quite early. They’re still challenging games, mind.
Oh I love the genre of those games Sekiro was just insanely hard! Might give DS a whirl. Do I have to start with the first or can I just play the 3rd?

No idea, sorry
You can start with the 3rd.
They do have storylines, but they’re so impenetrably esoteric that it doesn’t really matter what order you play them.
While I think the first is the best, it does feel very dated now compared to 3.

I would say Bloodborne (PS4/5) is the best of them, but it like Sekiro both have no shields so new players would find them especially hard. Dark Souls 1 has had a remaster that runs fine on PC. It's the best of the PC games and where I'd recommend to start tbh. 2 is a weird one that I like but many don't. DS 3 I don't really like all that much.
Ultimately though it comes down to 'are you wanting a challenge?' If not, don't bother. I get bored of suggesting the games then people moaning about difficulty.
I completed original veteran level of Metroid Prime so I'm used to difficult!
It’s terrible.
Didn’t even complete my ten hours on ea access. Will probably be better in a few months though.
I only play career mode so there’s nothing in for me anymore.
Went back to wow for the free weekend. Thought I'd see if I got nostalgic or a desire to explore and play. It looks like a really old game. They changed a bunch of non-graphical stuff that'd mean I'd be relearning the game yet again.
The main issue is that they charge a monthly sub on top of charging full whack for every expansion. That for me is insane. I did it back in the day as there weren't other options but I'd rather just play ESO for free on my ps4 when I get a hankering for that type of game.

My history with Dark Souls is as follows.
Started with Dark Souls II and... detested it. Proper dreadful. Still do.
Abandoned the series for years, picked up Dark Souls III on a whim and... it's one of my top ten favourite games of all time. It's that good.
Then played the Dark Souls Remastered and found it alright.
I think it's a "marmite" type of game. When it clicks, it really clicks. I'd recommend Dark Souls III if you were to play any of them.
