Honestly I don't know what to say. I've always hated hard games and this game was sold to me like "the hardest game ever" for the longest time, so I never wanted to have anything to do with it.
For some stupid reason I gave it a try and I became hooked to it. I mean I was hating how unfair some enemies were, but there was this new, weird feeling that was telling me "this game is laughing at you, it thinks you can't do it". That feeling made me keep playing throught the game.
I must say, the start of the game is great (with the exception of a few things, like the Capra boss fight) but the moment you set foot on Blighttown everything starts to crumble. I honestly can't believe how they thought this zone or Tomb of Giants were good enough designs for this game.
The game feels clunky as fuck too, it has aged very poorly but the OST, the unique feeling it gives the user, how every part of the map is connected and how dense the lore is (although I don't get what the fuck it's about) makes up for it big time.
Solid 8 or so, I'm already downloading DS3 (I am skipping DS2 because I've already been told how stupid that game is and I ain't going through that) and I intend to keep beating all of the souls-likes one by one.
