@mj2k18 People aren't really able to convey why these games are so good so I'll attempt. Its not cause its a difficult game. Its cause its a difficult game with an amazingly intricate and well crafted combat system that rewards skill. The game is punishing but you can't say its cause the game is glitchy or cheated or any other excuse. If you die, its your fault. But that comes with an upside. If dying is your fault, you can get better and better and once you overcome that boss that killed you six times, the satisfaction is unreal. You have a sense of dread exploring a new area and having to learn new enemy move sets but then you get better and suddenly that area becomes a cakewalk.

Also as far as level design goes, I would say these games are basically 3D metroidvanias. There's secrets everywhere. Minibosses everywhere. Items to find. Etc. The entire game is mostly non-linear. I'm playing Dark Souls 1 on PS4 currently and I'm splitting my time between four different areas trying to figure out what to do next. In this respect, its not dissimilar from Metroid Prime. You can and likely will get lost in new areas but thats okay. Exploring is part of the experience. But always be on your guard.

And above all, Praise the Sun.
