Is Fromsoftware good level design?

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW

Demon's, Dark 1, Bloodborne and Sekiro do
DS2 and 3 have garbage level design

Depends on if you’re sadistic. Fuck 40% of every DS because that kind of level design is not about being creative and fun, it’s about causing you rage and raping your soul.

DS1 has *the* best 3d metroidvania design of any game.
Bloodborne and Sekiro have great leveldesign.
DS3 has good leveldesign in the parts where it tries to be interesting, like the chapel of cleansing bit or the grand archives.
DS2 has fucking drunk """"""""""""""""""leveldesign""""""""""""""""""" and should be forgotten

I haven't played DeS or anything before it so I can't really say anything about those games.

Are we meant to assume that the swamp was his shit?

Also I forgot to mention that all the DLCs have amazing design, props to DS2 in that regard too except for the parts where it goes out of its way to be obnoxious

no, Fromsoftware is a Japanese video game development company

Yes, he tosses it at you and you get some poison effect i think.

Most traps in Dark Souls can be avoided with patience.

>metroidvania
You don't use abilities to reach new areas

inb4 retards misconstrue world design as level design

There is shitload of bullshit moments designed to kill you in the series. There are traps and situations designed to kill the player through no fault of his own just to waste your time and make you replay the same shit again.

>b-but muh burned marks on the bridge
What about the gazillion, ambushes and terrain hazards that depend of AI's cooperating or not.

I think they did a pretty good job with Ashina Castle.

What was the point of the big gate in that room??
I thought maybe you love them into it but they don’t go past the sludge

That would be Metroid Prime.

>imagine thinking this is good game design unironically

Question: why do Metroid virgins think every single game is a ripoff of their shitty backtracking simulator?

Any game with constant and obnoxious backtracking is considered a Metroidvania by these brainlets.
