Id never played a souls game, was kinda intimidated by them honestly, and ive been gaming since i was 10, im now 30. A Few pointers if your reading reviews to decide if you should buy/play it.
This is hard, there is no difficulty except that of your own skill.
There are many quests and a solid magical journey, but you wont find it unless you look and listen.
This will not hold your hand, ever, at any point. no quest markers, no journal, no arrows telling you "go here" its all on you
You will die...like allot.
Dont expect skyrim, dont expect witcher, by comparison those games are lego island
Absolutely the best game i have played for about 10 years, no lie, it was a struggle dont get me wrong, worth every second tho. 10/10
