    Skyrim was still so, so ahead of it’s time when it came to an open world RPG

    Not in a world that already had Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls in it.

    You can labor the “open world” point but in any other metric DS & DeS stood above it: quest lines, action, feel, mechanics etc.

      Look I love Dark Souls; it is an incredibly flawed game, and Demon’s Souls is even moreso. Dark Souls was so far ahead of it’s time that it still needed time to bake in the oven. Then with how claustrophobic DS2 and DS3’s worlds were by comparison, I don’t think FromSoft really surpassed Skyrim until Elden Ring.

      Both games are some of the greatest of all time though, so a lot of it will just come to preference. I think a lotta Dark Souls players have been spoiled by the remaster though, the original release struggled hard under the weight of Miyazaki’s ambition.
