Actually Rakia. It was a Horror game. It had all the elements to be one in the first game, you played a silent protagonist, sound and music heightened tension and sometimes threw you off (Like Amnesia), and plenty of jump scares.
However much of that changed in the next two games.
DS3 is a full blown shooter, since you no longer ave to collect specific ammo types, its a lot harder to run out of ammo now, making you less cautious with gun use like the first two.
