This game/series is amazing. I was really hesitant on playing it but I'm so glad i did. I am obsessed with this series. Anything By FROMSOFTWARE the games they create are really tough but they are really rewarding. They are the types of games that take a lot of thinking and planning. Be prepared to die... a lot but thats what makes the game fun. You collect "souls" which you use to buy things and upgrade your inventory, and abilities. But when you die you loose all of them, but they give you a chance to get them back if you can traverse back to where you lost them from dying. It makes the game so much fun. I recommend this game to everyone. I think everyone needs to try these games. There are so many different ways to play it. The game is beautiful and the story is really cool. The story is actually told by picking up different things you find around the world. Parts of the story could come from weapons or items that are picked up or even people that are talked to in the game. But be careful because if you are online while you are playing the game other players can invade your game and try to attack you. Also being online while playing can really help as well. As you are walking around you will see glowing notes written on the floor by other players. If you click on them you can read what other players say about what is going on in that area. The games are in my top five favorite games of all time. I Highly recommend these games.
