10 Greatest Role-Playing Games Of All Time

6. Dark Souls

From Software must be indirectly responsible for more broken console controllers and gaming keyboards than any other developer in the history of gaming, as en route to completing the game you must surely have been driven to throw your trusty Dualshock 3 at the wall on more than one occasion. Dark Souls is widely regarded as being one of the most difficult games of all time. 20 minutes into a fresh playthrough you will have more than likely died in excess of 10 times. Every enemy is just insanely tough and the entirely unsympathetic universe of Dark Souls leaves no room for error. €˜How does all of this result in a good game?€™ the uninitiated among you may ask. As everything in Dark Souls is so difficult and you really do have to work hard to even dispatch the lowliest of enemies, you feel a genuine sense of achievement with every corridor cleared and every boss vanquished. Speaking of bosses, the game has some of the coolest in any RPG as the art style throughout is beautifully dark and fittingly ominous.
