Never had I imagined that wanting soulshit with actually good level design and not just boss rushes would be a niche genre some day

While combat-focused, boss-first game design is fun, it does miss the core of what made Demon's and Dark Souls what they were.

Elden Ring has their best level design

Open world is not and can never be good level design, encounters literally don't matter when you have a horse and can go in any direction, the "legacy dungeon" make a small amount of the game and get worse as the game goes on

How can you say this when in every souls game the most optimal way to play was to run past everything

>>712483005
>optimal autistic way to play you would only know after first playing then watching guides vs playing for the first time
Are you retarded?

>>712483005
True only under certain conditions.
>you played the game already and know the layout well enough to avoid encounters
>bonfires are so common you can just #yolo your way to one at random

>he needs to read a guide to decide he doesnt feel like fighting all the same shit again to get back to his souls

Concession accepted

>>712483606
damn, you gave up quick

>>712483520
you honestly dont need to know much about the layout. especially in later souls entries where its almost completely linear, even elden rangs

>>712481485 (OP)
You don't know what good level design actually is

>>712485587
This is good level design
