I think I'd go with the same suggestion i saw on QUORA and agree that the game DARK SOULs is the most overrated game of all time.

Don't misunderstand me, it doesn't mean that the game is not fun but the hyping is just not worth it.
It is common to see people sit and talk about the game and even further classify it as hard. I think this is where they misjudge the whole concept of the game. There is a wide difference between hard and tedious. Yes that is what the game is, it is tedious and a long way far from what makes a game hard. When a game is hard, it requires lots of skills which unfortunately dark soul doesn't possess.

All that is required for you to scale through the game is patience and proper watching. You should try to study how the boss operate and also timing your dodge buttons for attacks. This isn't a hard thing to do, in real sense, I see it as boring. That’s all there is to it. And on the run back to the boss, the enemies are pretty much designed to hit and/or kill you if you try to just run past them to get back to the actual boss fight. So you have to waste even more time dealing with them, which generally requires the same “wait for an opening” boring tactics as the boss fights. Most can be skipped if you follow a specific path, but that’s just boring trial-and-error until you figure it out.

Having dispelled the myth that Dark Souls, what’s then exactly is the problem? So what if the game’s only claim to fame is a sad misconception, that doesn’t automatically make it bad, right? Well, like I said, it’s boring, meaning it is far from being overly fun. Literally the one thing a video game needs to be in order to be good. The “challenge” of Dark Souls is trudging through it despite the fact that you are bored and annoyed, and not having any fun at all. Surmounting them does not give you a rewarding” feeling, but leaves you disappointed. The game actively and intentionally tries to piss you off.
