Today’s new game is also a brand new…ish game, the just-released-a-couple-hours-ago PC port of Dark Souls.
It’s known mainly for being difficult, and oh yeah, it is. The first boss took me four tries to beat, and that took a bit of luck. Individual fights with regular monsters still have to be approached with care or they’ll knock half your health off. You’re not just mowing through everything at breakneck speed, and upgrades are gradual.
It’s a refreshing change from the usual RPG type I play though, so I’ll certainly stick with it. I did play a bit of the predecessor, Demons Souls, but never really gave it a proper chance.
Ya know, until I got to Sen’s Fortress (where I am now, and may forever be stuck) I really didn’t find the game hard. Of course, now that online play is gone I’m not sure I feel like finishing it. Assuming I could. ;-)
