Midir is just Nameless King with more hitpoints. He’s not too bad but his health pool and resistances make him a little boring. Not that the fight isn’t worth it or not fun, it’s just that you’ll get in to a groove and then get complacent then you get to start over.
If you haven’t tried a lvl 1 run on DS3 I think you would enjoy it. I am not great at these games but that lvl 1 run made me re think every area, enemy, boss and equipment setup. It’s really freeing to not care about losing all your souls when you die.
I started with DS1 after trying the demo for DS2. I’ve gone through both games enough to have to delete characters in order to start a new one.
Then Bloodborne, which I did not like at first. But I did like the game by the time I finished it. After playing the full game with Old Hunters I was obsessed. It became my favorite game ever and might still be.
DS3 is chock full of fan service and I ate it up. DS3 is my favorite Dark Souls game because of the gameplay, settings, and all the callbacks.
Sekiro pushed Bloodborne out of the top for a little bit and it’s still probably tied in truth.
PS5 Demon Souls was great and the best looking FromSoft ever. But it held no magical nostalgia for me and the mechanics are dated compared to the newer games.
Elden Ring was where I started to burn out. I’ve done a couple playthroughs and I enjoy specific parts of the game but I couldn’t imagine going through all of it again.
My top 3: Bloodborne Sekiro DS3
And it really depends on what type of experience I’m in the mood for that determines that order.
No on Watch Dogs 3. For great story I would suggest these:
God of War (2022)
Red Dead Redemption 2
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
