It took me about 20 hours to complete this game and 4 of those were the final level. Or at least it felt like that. I didn't count. Champion's Road doesn't have shit on this.

I have a mess of thoughts about this game that I really can't succinctly put together so I'll just say that it's paradoxically Fromsoft's Greatest Hits while simultaneously screaming at you "Do you see why we can't do this anymore?"

i really adore most of this game, but by the time i was playing the dlc, which is supposed to be the best part, i was checked out. after fighting artorias i just lost my will to get through it and went to go fight gwyn. something clicked in me sometime after o&s and the game became a slog and it never fully recovered. i probably should have taken a break but i was so close to the end that i just powered through and now that its over i feel pretty empty.
