Not my favorite souls game (that's definitely the first one) but takes the series in a direction I appreciate: into RPG systems hell!
The levels are dense with secrets - including multiple optional bosses - and there's even more covenants to join. More weapon and spell variety. Relentlessly comedic, constantly pranking the player with enemy placements. I like this - the original - version more than Scholar of the First Sin because the progression structure is more lenient and less linear. It is more "game-like" in interesting and textured ways. The dark horse of the series, but deserves a re-appraisal. The one thing I dislike? Too stingy with estus.
Oh and adaptability is a good stat.
