Finally. It's no secret that Dark Souls is my favorite of all the titles I've played in my life. And the most amazing thing is that not only DS is the greatest I've played so far, but I know in my heart that it will be the greatest that I ever play. Yep.
Where do I even start? Honestly, this game is mind blowing on almost every aspect. It nails everything that a video game should achieve. So much so that it transcends into 'Art' territory. The lore. The level design. The environmental storytelling. The eerie atmosphere. Dark and depressing. The lore. I said lore twice because it deserves it!
Most of this 'review' (it's not really a review, it's my experience) is gonna be me fanboying about this masterpiece that happens to be a video game. Will it sound fake if I said I couldn't find me being disappointed with DS for even a second? That's absolutely true.
Of course there are flaws. There are bugs. Unfinished renders, rushed production, bed of chaos, but what the game achieves weighs so much over its flaws that the flaws become negligible. The lore is so deep that you'll try to find lore implications for the bugs that you encounter rarely!
It feels like a disgrace to the game when I stop. There are much, much more to praise it for. I wish I could go on forever praising it. However I think it's better to do so in silence, because no one could ever fully do praise DS through the limited medium that are words.
Thank you, Dark Souls.
Thank you, Miyazaki.

Love,
