This is a game that made me feel a wide range of emotions but eventually won me over in the end. If i had to pinpoint the exact time, it would probably be Gwyn's death animation. The game not even dedicating a cutscene to it and just driving home how scared he is just through the music and that one single animation alone strangely made me rethink all of my thoughts towards the whole thing.

I don't really have much to add in terms of what the game does well and fumbles mechanically, i feel the exact same as the average joe aside from a few things like Blighttown being actually really fun and Tomb of the Giants being honestly not that bad.

Pretty special game that will probably stay in my thoughts for a long while, was rlly fun playing it after Demon's Souls and appreciating all of the improvements. I'd die for Hawkeye Gough.
