It's hard to believe that it's been more than a decade since Dark Souls was originally released. Since then, both the Dark Souls franchise and FromSoftware as a whole have redefined the way video games are made. Newly released games are compared to Dark Souls so often it's even become a meme to call something "the Dark Souls of" its kind. It makes sense, though, given how influential and memorable the mechanics of FromSoftware games are. Players can recall in great detail the boss fights they labored to overcome, and out of all those bosses, Gwyn remains the most iconic.
