Beautiful crafter world with huge maze that connects with every part of the map is mindblowing. Sometimes your path will lead to unexpected shorcuts. That is what interesting in this game was exploring and finding new secrets. Maybe sometimes to cryptic for my taste cause I need to look where to go next.
Combat mechanics still holds up and test your reflexes to its limits. Especially fighting Manus, Father of he Abyss. This is no walk in the park with carebears. Huge variety of bosses. Some of them done masterfull like Knight Artorias which is one of classic fan favorite and it shows. The style he moves the threat he posses to you is so much work done into this. You can clearly tell From knew how to do it.
There are no games withouth some flaws and sadly this game has some of them here to. First one is Blighttown. This horror shouldnt exist in any kind of shape of form. Prob worst area in any video game ever. Second one some really tight and small spaces this game gives you to fight enemies and lastly one the biggest enemy of all times in all dark souls games is bottomless pits you can fall into death.
The first badge of sourcery is conquered. This is no end to this story as is two more games left to beat with more knowledge and skill. The battle is not over yet. 9/10
