There are truly very few games that nail the visceral feel of melee combat as well as Dark Souls. This landmark title was released by FromSoftware in 2011 and has gone on to become one of the greatest video games ever. Modern titles are still trying to emulate the core aspects of what made Dark Souls such an iconic and beloved title. The fact that Elden Ring smashed sales records and became one of the most popular open-world games of all time is a testament to how beloved the FromSoftware formula is.
