Dark Souls is a good game. Its not a masterpiece or anything due to the second half existing. But it's still a truly amazing game. A interesting world, good level design in the first half, great bosses mostly and a beautiful soundtrack that perfectly compliments the world. The ending is also really beautifully done being one that vaguely closes the game in a melancholic way. It's dark souls man it's hard to really hate on. They did way better with the formula in other games though.
