Really Fantastic.

Damn depressing but good. Well-written and impactful.

Master class world design. Fun and challenging bosses despite not living up to its successors in that respect. However, the original entry in the Dark Souls series provides an irreplicable experience. Is this the best game Fromsoft has made? No. The game falls off pretty hard in the second half, not enough to ruin the experience entirely, but the first half shows that this game had the potential to be nearly perfect.
