Dark Souls 2 Dark Souls 2 is kind of like Marmite and that it tastes really awful and anyone who says they like it has no idea what they're talking about but how many times did this divisive sequel make me cry once as soon as I realized dark souls
2 wasn't gonna deliver me that same incredible feeling of discovery that the first game gave me with its sprawling interconnected world I cried out in pain I was inconsolable for hours my wife pretended to understand but I knew she didn't get it I struggled on with the game
to the very end but it just wasn't the same experience I'd fallen in love with the victories and even the defeats left me feeling nothing for that reason I wore dark souls to the lowest possible score of one cry out of five demon souls I confess that Demon
Souls is probably the fromsoftware game I've spent the least time with and as such it has had less chance to claim my salty eye droplets over the years than its brethren I don't know if any of you can relate to this but I spent the entirety of my
first ad to be fair only play for this game as a melee class which meant that when I finally got to a bus could the penetrator and Knight with a massive sword in the name like monster I got slapped down hard and I mean hard between the penetrator
and another particularly nasty sob called the flame look of Demon Souls have me on the emotional ropes more than a few times though plenty of other moments I'm sure but those are the douchebags that stand out I wore Demon Souls – cries out of 5 and would likely
never return to it to let it see me cry again Dark Souls free there is so many parts of Dark Souls free that reduced me to an actual puddle on the floor seriously the last game in the series for now is riddled with some utterly ridiculous difficulty spikes
that left me pleading to any God who would listen for mercy non Kane you can spend vast chunks of dark souls free having a great time there are challenges to be sure but nothing that feels particularly insurmountable every now and again though you'll run into some piece of
crap like the abyss Watchers or la freakin Lorien and we want to tear your hair out and eat it in frustration i honest-to-god nearly gave up on dog souls free because the abyss Watchers represent one of the most ridiculously high skill checks in any game I have ever
played seriously comes out no work and I award this third game in the series at respectable free cries out fired for its crimes against my mental state Sakura look I really loved from software's 2019 peace Sakura shadows die twice in my review I said the game is a
punishingly difficult Game of the Year contender that is easily among the studio's best work I'd also like to point out that it did win game of the year so but there's no getting around the fact that Sakura had a face I would punch it the game's opening hours
are genuinely brutally hard at least I found them to be so as someone who's pulled countless hours into dark souls and blood blood see if you attempt to play Sakura like another Souls game from software punish you for it hard I got stuck on one early bus for
at least a couple of hours before I realized I didn't even have the item I needed to make it easier for myself my fault yes but when I realized this I socked Sakura has many lessons to teach and he's not nice about teaching kind of like a primary
school teacher who's already handed in their notice and couldn't give its horse whether or not you get fractions yet which I still don't this summer adventure gets for cries out of five to the pain it caused me blood-borne blood-borne is by far my favorite of these games thanks
to his gorgeous interconnected world and aggressive combat systems but when I think back on this gothic horror what I can really remember is that my nerves were pretty much constantly shot as I crept through what is undoubtedly the scariest game from software has ever made I was always
on the verge of tears and or soiling myself every corner concealed a new eldritch abomination that was ready and willing to leap from the shadows and accost me as I screamed in horror unable to fight back out of sheer terror finding a new land since arrest out and
being granted a moment's rest by it was always grounds for a mini breakdown a guy outside maybe smoke a cigarette steal myself what was to come and inevitably lose my effing mind when I ran headfirst into a horrific monster that obviously wiped me out a few heads I
still have nightmares about blood-borne 5 cries out 5 Dark Souls here's a list of things in the original Dark Souls that even made me cry almost a week from frustration Blighttown those goddamn anor londo arches small ronstein Blighttown lost izalith the bed of chaos the tomb of joins
those dogs that help the Capra demon rip you apart soon as you enter the fight black town a really bloody hey Blighttown alright although now that I think about it lost is a LIF it probably was that entire place feels like an unfinished mess in a way it
reminds me of me don't get me wrong I do genuinely adore dog songs and there was so many moments of elation beating smile and on Steam for the first time for example results me emitting an inhuman squeal of joy that my wife would let go on to describe
as grounds for divorce and so along leaving Blighttown I'm realizing I would never have to go by it was also a huge moment as was any time I made my way out of a particularly tough area and back to the relative safety of the Firelink shrine truly dark
saucers game of delirious highs and dangerous lows it's an emotional roller coaster that was never fully prepared for and for that reason I awarded the highest possible score of infinity cries out of five [Music]
