this game is weird and messy and visibly confused about its own existence but i will always always come back to it because there is no other game that really feels like this one does

i can see it, as clear as day

idk what to tell u man its genius

everything's already been said but honestly i think the most important review of this game's impact is that there is so much modded content of quality that matches or surpasses the vanilla game that you could literally play for 5000 hours and never feel like youre finished

this game is flawed in a lot of ways that its neighbours in the souls series aren't, but whenever i replay it i don't feel like dwelling on any of those flaws because imo it's the most conceptually fascinating and narratively enthralling of all the souls games. there is never gonna be another character quite like Aldia
