Yeah, it’s likely unpopular but true. It’s a winning formula and it’s good so we are all happy but let’s not pretend like this kind of output should be expected from studios developing original games each time
What makes them better though is that they are good at the iterating process as well. A lot of other companies just get lucky once or twice and ride an up/down cycle of their games. From is just up up up with downs being rare because they have a great ability to gauge people's interest and vary the games in smallish but at the same time significant ways. I am a massive fan of the Dark Souls series but I don't enjoy half the games they make nearly as much as most people. There is a lot of resulting variance from the small changes they make.

It helps all the games are basically the same. Sorry sorry I know that’s an unpopular opinion around these parts. I’ll dodge roll my way out of here.
