Review #5 - 2020
I'm a bit of a masochist when it comes to throwing my self into games without playing easier difficulties. I've always been that way. Never liked playing games without being able to drop into a harder difficulty. I love the trial by fire. I love having to figure it out for myself with as little as help as possible. It gives me a sense of adventure, a sense of achievement, a sense that I can overcome any challenge with sheer willpower. "Dark Souls" is a game that has been made for people like me, and I can't believe it has taken me this long to discover it.
It not only provides the challenge I crave, but also the lore as well. I love deep diving into a game's backstories and mythologies on down time between battles, and "Dark Souls" absolutely checks that box. Notice I'm describing this title as "Dark Souls" only. That's because this 3rd entry is my first experience with this series. I can't say too much more considering I'm still playing through this on my own time outside of the streams, but all in all, I'm loving it thus far, and now, I'm intrigued to experience more FromSoftware titles, and soulslikes in general. I hope to return to this review with even more in depth thoughts in the future.
