Advice: Use wikis and guides as a last resort. One of the most critical and enjoyable things about the games is punishment and reward. If you got stuck on a boss, don't be afraid to take a break and clear your mind. If you read a guide then you won't feel the joy of overcoming the challenge, trust me on this one.
Thank you all again for your input. If nothing else it's pretty clear I've totally ignored an important set of games.
What do we think about this?
Because honestly reading all of your thoughts, I was thinking of starting with Dark Souls 1 (not owning a PS3 and being able to play Demon Souls) - but this might cause me to wait and see. I'd rather go back to the beginning and see the evolution, I think, if there's a nice modern-friendly remaster a year or so away.
Worth waiting for confirmation, or should I get on with my life?
You absolutely can't go wrong with Dark Souls 1 first! You can save Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of The First Sin for later, they are good games!Thank you all again for your input. If nothing else it's pretty clear I've totally ignored an important set of games.

A lot of DeS bosses are more like puzzles than a test of dexterity or skill imo, i'd say it's the slowest and souls games get faster in release order pretty much. The remake will be the best looking one of these if that's a thing that could bother you. I wouldn't put much stock into a set order so long as you can manage and if a game is too much you could try another. DS1 to DS3 is the only time where i could see some continuity in the story with DS2 being sorta its own world. BB gets fast with fewer but more complex weapons and Sekiro is the fastest being action oriented than rpg.Sorry for the necro, but it's a genuine question.
How does the confirmation of the Demon's Souls remake affect this? I still haven't caught up on any of this series, instead making my way though the rest of the PS4 back catalogue.
Do I now go for the DS remake first? Or am I still best tackling the others first?
