12 Biggest Video Games That Are The Most Value For Money

6. Dark Souls

It would take them two games to get the formula down-pat, but what Demon's Souls started in 2009 was perfected in 2011, as Dark Souls expanded on the franchise's uniquely strategic hack n' slash feel, birthing one of the best game worlds of all time in the process. Exploration and experimentation are a given in the RPG genre overall, but you've not felt a buzz of discovery quite like Dark Souls. Pathways interlock and feed back into each other, character options favour taking on enemies in different ways, the game actively slaps away your hand as a way to force you into becoming more confident, and even after you've finished, there's a world of story and lore elements to soak up. Dark Souls is one of only a handful of games that can remind you of a time when game worlds were mysterious and a genuine unknown quantity. You'll never know what's round the next corner, but it's in holding up your weapon, pressing forward and poising your finger on the dodge button that provides one of the most rewarding game experiences of all time.
