Second time around with DS1 after a pretty limited Switch run at launch and what an absolute treat.
The loop of methodically exploring a new area the first time around to memorizing enemy placement and eventually unlocking a shortcut is never boring.
The different areas of the game are beautiful and full of little secrets along the way. I enjoyed seeing different characters out in the world and slowly learning more about the lore.
It is certainly a difficult game with a few bosses that spiked above the rest. However aside from a few frustrating moments, I loved the game from front to back.
