Man what a beautiful fucking game.

I fucking loved this shit so much.

It’s message, revolutionising gameplay, iconic soundtrack, designs, fuckkkkk this game is a masterclass.

The best.

The graphics, revolutionising gameplay, dialogue, soundtrack everything about this game reaches what a GAME should be.

We play as the ''Chosen Undead,'' our lost, mentally and psychically, protagonist. We encounter, as the players, many dilemmas, but an infinite contrasted message reaches us: ''Don't you dare go hollow, my friend,'' This message is not only used as a purpose to cheer us on with our difficulty with the game but also serves as a whole existential purpose. In many instances throughout our lives, we encounter people who may be lost. Whether it be addiction, drugs, alcohol, pornography, generational trauma, mental struggles, anything, these people will eventually ''Go Hollow.''
Dark Souls one (in my opinion,) will forever be solidified by its existential, stoic narrative approach. This is evident in the way dialogue and the writing are presented, many instances: Our encounters with the bosses in the games and its whole ''never give up'' approach, the way Gwyn found his purpose through just a little flame, that one tiny purpose, that one thing turned into a whole universe. Dark Souls soundtrack is built upon titles, the purpose to characters, like the soundtrack. ''Gwyn, the lord of Cinder,'' ''Ceaseless discharge,'' ''Gravelord Nito,'' Plenty of bosses has ther own title, but at the end of the game in the credits ''The Nameless Song.'' The Chosen Undead, our main protagonist never has a presented ''main theme.'' So, I believe our protagonist's main theme was ''The Nameless Song,'' this within itself, as an existential message. We are nothing, we hold no title, nothing, but the Chosen Undead, someone who is conceived from nothing, beat all the ones with the titles. Dark Souls one is a masterpiece.

May we plin plin plon our way to our own meaning of life.

Logically, the best Souls game ever BUT not my personal favourite. The world-building is masterful, ofc due to George RR Martin participating. Its ideological and moral themes are actually beautifully constructed, probably due to it's subtle rhetorical questions to us, the character.

Of course, it has the best boss fights in the series on an objective level, but it definitely had some problems with difficulty sometimes.

OVERALL FUCKING FANTASTIC GAME.

FUCKING AMAZING OH MY GOD AMAZING FANTASTIC PEAK

I appreciate its ''return to form,'' but Assassin's Creed was built upon it's fantastic narrative and moral, existential problems, not all the gameplay. The only really interesting thing about this game was Basim and that's about it really, the side cast was abit shite with Roshan being the one who is close to the title of ''good.''
The gameplay is pretty nice tho, I can't lie.

BUT, overall mid ass game Valhalla better.

I respect what it's trying to do a lot, the writer Derby Mcdevitt had a vision, but it just didn't work due to what Assassin's creed has became.

Eivor, our main protag, is fairly intriguing, they aren't the worst but they are far from the best. I enjoyed what they did with the modern day because, being honest, this modern day is as good as AC Brotherhood and that's saying something.

The order of the ancients are done pretty fantastic and the ORIGIN of the templars was executed fucking beautifully, so was Sigurd's subplot. It also introduced Basim, in which he became an interesting fucking character, oh my GAWD, he even got his own game.

''What's this greenie, Assassin Christmas?'' I think that says everything about this fucking shite game

Yeah fuck off thanks.







































Yeah I said fuck off you Greek twat.

What the heck happened here, lads?

Firstly, the plot leads to absolutely nothing, and secondly, its portrayal of 'Assassins can be bad too' is terrible; they made them terrorists? Assassin's Creed I portrayed that even better. Shay is a mediocre protagonist, with once again the only redeeming aspect being Haytham. The only interesting part is the ending, which significantly improves Shay's character from the mess he was. This game could have been good, but it just ended up in the trash.

Nothing else can be said as its gameplay comes straight from AC4's arsehole.
