    Enchanting

    After playing through Bloodborne and Sekiro, I decided I wanted to go ahead and give Dark Souls a try. I became a fan of the From Software games and the challenge they offered. Defeating a boss was always a massive rewar... Read Full Review

    You won't forget playing this one

    I went into this game not knowing anything about the franchise, or playing demon souls. After a couple of minutes of getting into the game, I was already dead on the ground at the feet of a 30 foot tall demon and I knew ... Read Full Review

    I have never tried to force myself to like a game more than Dark Souls. Incredible atmosphere, visuals, and sound direction. I tried so hard to love this game. I really did. For the first half, I could say I enjoyed it i... Read Full Review

    Dark Souls with a good story and an incredible climate, is without a doubt one of the most difficult and addictive games
