Sekiro. Admittedly, i havent played it. But from what ive seen it definitely does not have the absolutely miserable atmosphere the the dark souls games have.
Its already been stated by the original post, but my issue with dark souls is that it feels pointless. Your options afaik are to link the fire or not. You can extend the current age(god why would you, everything sucks) at the cost of your soul, or you can let the fire die which from my understanding is basically kickstarting the end of the world. The world is ALREADY GONE, there is 0 good things left. Its absolute misery. You are in an active apocolypse right now anyways. It really seems that the entire series’ story is completely pointless, your choices simply dont matter gameplay or narratively. Youre not even working towards a decent goal.
If there was the option to fix the world, and it cost you your soul, the stuggle wouldve been worthwhile. But fixing the world isnt a given option, and thats where the games fail imo.
