This is a clip from a longer video where I discuss the common claim that the Souls/Soulsborne Series (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Sekiro) is "difficult but fair." The full video can be found here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQzlp4fNKes

The full video discusses the reason why many players think that this series is actually quite unfair, and tries to reconcile that appearance with the way that its fans insist on its fairness. I use Margit to illustrate many of my points, and I also discuss the evolution of the difficulty in these games from Demon's Souls through Sekiro and Elden Ring.
