DS2 is my favorite because its so different. Two of the things thats different that i loved was the ability to powerstance to duel wield any 2 weapons. The other was being able to snuff out whole enemies and make them extinct making that 15th treck to a boss so much easier.
It was also the first to introduce fast travel, which meant the areas werent super connected through shortcuts like the first.

Dark souls 1 had fast travel too but not to every bonfire and you had to reach a certain point in the game to unlock it
Demons souls had fast travel too technically but only between the hub and the start of each area (iirc)
That sounds pretty great to me!
