I played this game on my PS4 for the 1rst time, so the amount of time I've spent on this game isn't accurate. Bloodborne was my very 1rst FromSoftware game, so then I went to try out this one. I don't think there's another game in the market that has made me replay it over and over and over again to the extend that I've done with this game. It's one of the few games where I feel proud about having multiple save files, builds, and different ways of running through it. Fighting through the many amazing and unforgiving bosses, interacting with all the NPCs, and seeing the world that Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team have formed in this game. It is in my Top 10 Games of all time, and it holds a very special place in my heart. I suffered and struggled a lot in my first playthrough, but ever since then, it's something I always come back to enjoy. I got to play through the DLCs years ago and actually beat them, and it just made me want to end my time with the game on a strong note. I'll come back to it every now and then, but it's truly a game I would recommend anyone to go through.
i just started playing this game in 2024, but this game saved my life, i had alot going on since 2022, and i didnt have any motivation to keep going, but dark souls 3 is different. it taught me to keep pushing forward no matter what, every boss fight felt like a refelction of my struggles hard. unforgiving, but never impossible. with each defeat, i learned to get back up, and with every victory i felt a little stronger. this game didnt just give me an escape, it gave me a reason to believe in my self again. the constant cycle of dying and learning taught me that failure isnt the end. its just another step toward growth. it made me realize that no matter how dark things get, there's always a light ahead if i keep moving forward. dark souls 3 became more than just a game to me, it became a symbol of resilience and hope, remindiing me that even when life feels impossible, i can always try one more time and honestyle its the only soulsborne game i can play properly. im just so glad my pc barely met the minimum requirements and managed to run it a bit smoothly, i remember trying elden ring, hoping to experice that same feeling, but all i got was 25-30 FPS, and it was barely playable. it felt like life was mocking me again, like even when i tried to chase something i loved, i was held back by things i couldnt control, but dark souls 3 it ran well enough and that was all i needed, it was like the universe gave me just one chance to hold on to something and im so grateful that i did.
This is probably the pinnacle of the traditional souls formula. Almost everything has been fine-tuned in comparison to the original Dark Souls. Add in the DLC and amazing boss-fights, and this game is a perfect candidate to be added to the GOG library.

why are people voting for newish games and games that are already preserved via steam? save the resources for games that are more obscure and cant be accessed at all on modern platforms. this vote completely misses the point of good OLD games. OLD OLD OLD! its right there in the name. Old means like... over 10yrs ago or something.
Those games also need your vote!
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was initially developed with the Nintendo GameCube in mind, but ended up receiving a Wii port when it was released to promote the new console. This version has motion control compatibility for the sword and pointer controls for the menus, the bow and the boomerang. This version of the game has a completely inverted map and locations when comparing with the GameCube release. The change in layout was meant to adapt Link's usually left-handed design to right-handed people, given the motion controls.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish CapThe Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is a top-down action adventure game that tells the origins of the evil Vaati from Four Swords. Like most other titles in the series, The Minish Cap features the fully explorable land of Hyrule, although it can be viewed from the eyes of a human or the eyes of a Minish, a race of tiny people and an alternate form that Link can transform into. Unlike the multiplayer focus of the other games in the series, The Minish Cap retains the original form of exploration and dungeons as seen in A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons, and Oracle of Ages, as well as returning characters and game mechanics such as Malon and the Spin Attack. New features include fusing Kinstones and shrinking to the size of a Minish.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the last Zelda game for GameCube, it was highly anticipated by many members of the gaming community and was regarded as finally fulfilling the dreams of those who wanted a much more realistic and mature game than the ones before. The art is similar to the naturalistic style of Ocarina of Time, rather than the cel-shaded look of The Wind Waker. The main adventure takes place in several provinces with dungeons and temples. New to this game is the ability for Link to transform into a Wolf when entering the Twilight. As a wolf, Link can use his senses to solve puzzles and get past obstacles, he can also dig holes to find hearts and rupees. Twilight Princess has received universal acclaim from reviewers and journalists, who cited it as the greatest Zelda game of all time.
