It took a while to properly get into this one but man, Dark Souls really is something else.
Really hard to say anything original when talking about this game since everyone seems to have said it all already but I’ll just say this:
It’s an amazing ARPG that commits to some absolutely crazy ideas that make sense once you get into it. So many elements from story to mechanics seem to have been tailor made to create this soul crushing atmosphere which allowed me to truly immerse myself into the “dark” themes of the game.
An impressive blend of narrative and gameplay that few games have achieved, Dark Souls is a one-of-a-kind experience that has earned its position as one of the greatest games of all time.
It’s certainly up there for me.
