Enter a dark world filled with despair and threaded by hope where your ability to creatively strategize, learn and overcome unpredictable and unique challenges determines your fate. Dark Souls will demand your absolute concentration, unflinchingly punish your mistakes, but reward your ability to learn from death. Each challenge is a mind game met with endless combinations that will test your ability to creatively strategize a way to conquer unimaginable monsters and progress deeper into this bleak and forbidding environment filled with the un-dead.

This game does not hold your hand, it throws you to the wolves. There is no tutorial, no menu/shop explanation and no character build/skills advice. This is because other players are allowed to leave their own advice/warnings on the ground.
This game is not linear, meaning you can walk into very difficult areas you should not be in. The bosses are impossible your first try, but you can fight them with other players online.
Lots of fun exploring, fighting, dying, grinding. TEN!
One word to describe this game would be Frustration. Dark souls is for the pro gamer. Nothing less. If you think you stand a chance against these demons, your kidding yourself. Be prepared to die on more than several occasions. It took me a while just to beat the prologue because it took me a while to learn the precise combat techniques. The huge realm is vast and dangerous, every way you turn there is a new conflict. Every time you die you lose all of your souls but still great game.
