![]() ![]() The game is separated into very clear cut levels, and even the menu which contains your teleportation options is separated in this fashion. If you’ve played Dark Souls 3, then you’re already aware that the game is far more linear than the previous two titles, the structure of the world is like a tree almost, with one main trunk in the middle and many branches off to the sides. In order to truly begin the meat of the game, you have to use the bonfire to teleport, and in doing this you enter what I’m going to call the “true game world”, the part that you can walk back and forth through if you wanted. Your only way out, to reach the game proper, is through the lone bonfire smack dab in the middle of it. That’s it! You’re ready to begin your adventure, right?! So, where to, noble adventurer? Which direction should we set off in? At this point, upon entering the shrine, you discover that the shrine is populated by a handful of friendly NPC’s who will fill your basic needs, and it’s implied that there is more to come seeing as the shrine itself is woefully empty. It’s all smothered in gray, drab and yucky, and everything around it is depressing and aggressively dead. When you’ve beaten him, which should be a piece of cake for a Dark Souls veteran (unfortunately a recurring theme among all the game’s bosses), you’re finally given access to the ancient Firelink Shrine that you saw from a distance, in all of its mysterious esoteric glory. You’re probably wondering how you get there, which is another testament to From Software’s genius level design.Īpart from its elegant simplicity, the purpose of this deceptively straightforward area is to give you a brief tutorial before tossing you into the lion’s den by having you first fight Iudex Gundyr, a giant knight-statue and a basic looking boss if there ever was one. ![]() Strangely, it looks…bigger than it did in that game, but it’s there. On your way to the end of this area, you stop at a cliffside and gaze across a chasm, lit by the morning sun, and see the Firelink Shrine in the distance, something that was also present in the first Dark Souls. In a way, it could be seen as a great example of and throwback to old school level design, it’s sort of like a level from a Super Nintendo game. It’s an area that is entirely linear and basically goes nowhere important, beginning at one dead end and ending in the boss’s literal arena. Dark Souls 3 starts you off in an area that is wholly separate from the rest of the game, the Cemetery of Ash. Where better else to start than the beginning? Dark Souls 3 is more recent, so let’s tackle it first. Not a better game in general, mind you, but a better Dark Souls sequel. My argument is that Dark Souls 2 is a better installment of the Dark Souls franchise than Dark Souls 3.
