Think twice before you buy this. I just did and my key was rejected by Steam. Don't waste your time. (Posted on 9/8/12)

If Demon´s Souls was excelent, Dark Souls bring that experience to new levels. Very interesting game (Posted on 9/7/12)

Dark Souls is challenging, there is no doubt about that. The game forces you to learn the ropes before you start feeling the rewards. There is no hand holding. BUT once you get the feel for your weapons and shield, things get easier.


You will die, pretty often actually, but every death will be fair. There are only two exceptions. The Tomb of the Giants can be insanely difficult because you have to trade your shield for a lantern. I won't spoil to much for you, but their is a piece of equipment and a spell that will provide you light and you can keep your shield. The other exception is one area in Anor Londo with two Black Knight Archers. This specific spot is made 100% easier if you are able to summon help online.


The combat is excellent. Every weapon feels differently. Every weapon has different swing speed and a different move set. Even each different bow shoots differently. There is a incredible amount of sorcery, miracles, and pyromancy at your disposal.


The scenery is absolutely incredible. Every boss and mini-boss looks great and 99% of the entire game has incredible details.


Don't let people scare you off with the difficulty. Once you get the flow of the combat down, you will be able to make it all the way to the glorious finish. It took me a good 10 hours to really get a grasp of what it took to survive in the Dark Souls world, but after that it was nothing more than just enjoying the trip.


I am on my 4th play through right now. I am not tired of it at all. (Posted on 9/5/12)

The game continues its theme of an atmospheric medieval environment however this instalment has opted for an open world style, a wise decision that adds to exploration as well as helps create a larger more terrifying world. There are multiple branching paths possible from the off, advancing and testing different out routes is a new and welcome addition to the strategy.

The same punishment of death mechanic is incorporated from Demon's Souls providing the same risk verses reward gambit to progression. However the game play has been reworked and tightened up to refine the already excellently balanced design. Aside from some frame rate issues that only become bothersome in a select few areas the technical experience is solid. Visuals have been ramped up and the aesthetic design is stylish and fitting to the experience.

Combat is even more intense with a slew of new enemy formations and improved AI, a whole new list of considerations are introduced. Trying to reach as far out into the dangerous world as possible, while retaining as many supplies as you can makes the decision to press on or make a hasty retreat a constant consideration. Being rewarded with the unlocking of a short cut or the reaching a bonfire will always be met with a huge sigh of relief.

The excellent and innovative online functionality makes a much welcome return. It remains nonintrusive during regular play sessions and a vital boon for those all important hints left by fellow players. Of course becoming invaded when in human form is another matter and one to be explored to a fuller extent in the later stages of the game should you want to become a part of the large PvP community.

Dark Souls has a larger more terrifying world, filled with secrets and surprises. This game is leaner, meaner and improved in every way from the original. It's as horrifyingly difficult as it is technically brilliant. A must experience for the gamer who can stomach the challenge. (Posted on 9/4/12)
