King's Field 2, AKA King's Field in English. It's... actually pretty great? Like, yeah, it's janky and clunky, but that's what makes it kind of cool? It grows on you? Honestly, if you have patience for it, and you're interested in seeing how these games evolved, it's worth playing.

yes! for me, the entire appeal is that low-poly clunk. especially as time goes on, it feels more like a deliberate stylistic decision even though it more truthfully came out of fromsoft's technical disadvantage, having been a productivity software developer before they started making games. the whole thing is just wrapped in such atmosphere and mythic lore, it feels like a dream.
