It's a soulslike game technically like any other, with its dark souls like dodges, it's sekiro like parries and bloodborne like setting but it still combines all of that into a mixture of perfect balance between everything, the only not bad but unfortunate part was that there weren't any diverging or "open" paths, it's very linear and easy to predict it's direction but it also utilizes this very well so it doesn't need to create bosses to acomodate diferrent experiences because the most deferring between players will be it's strength and dex builds. It's one of the most challenging games I played but still one of the best and one I'd recommend so much to everyone.

My first entry into dark souls because I heard throught some friends that you should start by the either the first or the second game. Because I heard that this was the "worst" one I thought to start by it so I could experience bottom-to-top. Well, if this is what the worst of the franchise brought, I'm excited to see what more I should expect form "amazingness" from these games. The dlcs definitely were the best parts but the normal game couldn't be better still. There are a lot of areas I still did not see even though I just beat the game so I expect to go back and at least do all the endings, therefore I'd just say PRAISE THE SUN!

There may not be one person who didn't play this game at this point considering how much it sold back then and how each new version sells, also including game pass so it's unnecessary but I'd like to say that this game is a masterpiece that, somehow, utilizing a structure that today is clearly outdated, it is still such an amazing game that Bethesda tries to recreate but doesn't get what made Skyrim so fantastic. Just hope they don't mess too much with recreating this in TES 6 and try a success through deservement, not a cheap copy like what they did to Starfield. The game is still able to mystify players even after houdreds of hours with its beautiful set pieces and truly simple but heroic story of saving the world, just a bummer that it isn't possible to alter the fate of the world as the main quest is just aways what it is and has been and there aren't possible different endings as the game doesn't really intends on you being a bad guy. Even with some lack of options that were fixed on the dlcs mainly, even with its bugs and even with all the kinda simple stories, this game is still marvelous that all people, not just players in general, should play.
