barely felt like a game & i didn't rly didnt give a fuck about the story!

I had a lot of trouble getting into DS, but I'm so so glad I finally tapped in. A one of one gaming experience. Rarely is a game so intentional in its mechanics - and so effective at that. Everything about the game (with the exception of a few storytelling ticks) is infused w/ an ethos of mindfulness. genuinely a therapeutic experience

really snuck up on me, i don't think i even realized how much agency i had as a player until the last leg. i didn't really tap into the story much so the ending didn't do much for me (and I hate when a game that resets the story to before the "point of no return" instead of just ending or having proper endgame lol) but im dyin to checkout the dlc
