Released in 2011, Dark Souls is an action role-playing game from developer FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco. Set in a dark and twisted fantasy world, the game follows a custom-made character as they attempt to re-establish the link between fire and the First Flame in order to save the world from eternal darkness. Its brutally punishing difficulty and rewarding challenge made it an instant classic, and after seven years, it's been remastered with additional content for the PlayStation 4.
