I first played this close to release, around 2011 2012 and i dropped it upon reaching the Capra Demon. I returned to it frequently, 3 or 4 times, and hardquit each time at that fucking box room with that miserable prick.

I finally returned to it in 2022, after conquering a lot of what Fromsoft had to offer, and found the Capra Demon still difficult, but not insurmountably so. This time i pressed on, further, to see iconic bosses whos names i'd heard of in passing but had no experience with.

Game is good, and has become synonymous with quality for a reason. Docking it a point for bad bosses and some dull NPCs, but remains a must play.
