It's not hard to see why Dark Souls is such a big hit.
Sure, this game hasn't aged as good as Dark Souls III - the controls are a lot more clunky. But you can get the hang of them within a few hours of getting used to that.
What's most fascinating is the whole world that this game is set in. It feels so varied and ancient, it gives me some undescribable feelings. Also it triggers a weird megalophobia I have when it comes to incredibly large spaces, like the Duke's Archive, Ash Lake or... The Abyss.
But of course the bosses is where it's at, and it has a lot of great ones! Some others are very gimmicky or unfair though, so you sometimes have to pray to beat them.
If you want to get into the Souls Games, you should probably not start with this one if you want to get into it smoothly, either start with Elden Ring or Dark Souls III!
