Completely agree on Dark Souls 2, I've played almost all of the Souls games, yet I keep finding myself coming back to Dark Souls 2, I'm not sure what it is about the game, because there are definitely things I don't like about it (Mainly adaptability and hollowfication reducing your health) but it's still easily my most replayed Souls game. I especially love the early game, where you have 4 different paths you can take from Majula, it lets me leave if I am struggling with an area and come back to it later after playing a different path for a while
I've been meaning to play salt and sanctuary for a while, but haven't done it yet. I might pick that game up next time my bank account is a bit more full, because that sounds right up my alley
I also keep wanting to come back to DS2 for the long journey with so many cool locations.
Salt and Sanctuary really holds a special place for me. The atmosphere is absolutely top notch; we're talking Hollow Knight levels in my opinion. The map design is also phenomenal along with tons of secrets and shortcuts. Not sure if the recent patch fixed it, but the combat is kinda unbalanced from what I recall. Heavy armor is more or less useless so you might as well go fashion-souls. And 2-handed strength weapons are king.
