Amei jogar darksouls 1
Pena que não consegui platinar por causa de 1 magia.


I can see why this game is so beloved. With it being the second entry for this type of game from FromSoft, it has some clunkyness to it, but I loved it. Just felt different from the newer games, which is to be expected.

You're delusional if you think this game is worth playing, the only reason why people touch this horrendous game is because 'wholesome dog with hecking knife :DDDDD'

Also Artorias is a copy paste boring character hes nothing but surface level dookie

Also clunky

the first game of the souls saga , it´s notorious that it is the first one as the mechanics are good but have got old , nowadays this game is almost unplayable

This game suffers from "Don't play literally any other game in the franchise before this or you will be severely disappointed" syndrome. I started with DS3, really good game. But, it seems as though that soured my opinion of this indirectly because dear god the mechanics in this game feel like literally being paralyzed from the neck down. I'm sure that if I wasn't exposed to the objectively better game first, then I would like this.

people rating this below 5 stars, please just be fr

Out of all my journeys. This one set the standard for me and it led me to the rabbithole of FromSoft's greatest hits and gave me a better perspective on gaming in general.

great game, difficulty is just right, good visuals everything fits together, sound is great, gameplay is fair every bad thing that happens is a consequence of your own actions, motivation in this game doesn't come from wanting to reach a goal or finishing the game, but magically each time I die I feel more motivated to keep playing, a dangerously addicting trait of this franchise.

kinda epic ngl. i finished the game multiple times with different builds

Kinda easy when you get the Havel build, the most fun I had was when I fought Ornstein in New Game + , that was a real challenge.
Also, Lost Izalith, or whatever the name of that place is, has rushed game vibes.

Greatest map design of all time, not even a competition.

Great game the level design for its time was unmatched although the game now is real clunky but still a fun challenge

It's not one of my favorites among FromSoftware games, but it's still quite enjoyable. The first time I played it, I followed a guide on how to beat the game with a specific build, which made my initial experience not so good, and I almost gave up on it. Months later, my friend convinced me to give it another try, and this time I managed to beat the game without any external help. I explored and built my character on my own, and this completely changed my perspective on the game. Most of the areas are fun and intuitive to explore, except for Anor Londo, FUCK ANOR LONDO.

This is not Souls-like. This is Souls

This game is incredible. The ambience established, cryptic storyline, the daunting and mysterious world you're thrown into. It's an amazing experience that I fully recommend to video game enjoyers. It is also not nearly as tough as people make it out to be, granted it's still a challenging game!

bruh if they remade this with elden ring movement and graphics it would be goat contender

It would be an understatement if I left this as "One of the greatest of all time." Not particularly my go to entry in the series but god damn is it a masterpiece from beginning to end. I haven't touched Demon's Souls, but for nailing it in the coffin with sparking an entire gameplay genre is one of the things I love the most about Dark Souls. Some of the bosses absolutely kick my ass, but damn does it feel rewarding.

I love the story, the music and the world of the whole Dark Souls series. This is the game that started it all but I can’t just ignore amount of pain I had when I had to go thru Lost Izalith and the skeleton area. The controls were clunky and the enemies were annoying. I love the game but it is not perfect.

One of the most reviewed and analyzed games of this decade. I have nothing to say that has not already been said. Play it.


This game will destroy you. Accept that and push on. The game has some serious flaws in the 2nd half but by the time you encounter them your either in or your out. The start and mid game is genuinely amazing so give it a shot and dont let failure discourage you.

It inspired a whole genre (I know Demon's Souls came first, but Dark Souls is really what sent the genre to the mainstream). Even among the now hundreds of "souls-like" games there are today, Dark Souls stands among them as game that feels incredibly unique. The biggest criticism I could give Dark Souls is that it can sometimes feel a bit too cryptic and leave the player with no idea what they're supposed to be doing, especially if it's their first Souls game. But the story, world, characters, enemy designs, combat, and especially the level design is all masterfully done.

its dark. there's souls. what more do you want?

2nd half is kinda weak, but the first half makes you wanna finish it
