Terrific review. It's definitely a game that gets under your skin. A while ago I wrote a book about a guy who gets obssessed with Demon's Souls. I mention it because therearerules' impressions remind me of my time writing the book and the kind of absorption I felt for that game, and this. If anyone here wants a free copy just PM me as my publisher is asking me to get the word out to the gaming community and I've been a bit lax in that regard (in exchange for a review). Sorry for the plug but it just reminded me of some of the themes I was interested in. Plus there's loads of videogame Easter eggs too. Metanaut refers to a boss that was left out of the game. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Metanaut-Dan-Blackstock-ebook/dp/B07FVSFB9Q Described as, "a whirring blend of Lovecraft, Banks and Cline." Just PM me if you fancy a copy. Anyway, plug over back to death.

Beware. How many souls must I have lost down there!

Surely no retail outlet is selling V1 now?

Wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Bound to be some great bundles. Well worth getting Moves too. I got an excellent bundle for £300 last year (seems high now) but don't regret it for a minute.

Valley of Defilement in Demon's Souls is 10 times worse.

Sorrow Ahead.

I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get round to this, yet another ps plus backburner game. But seeing these good reports makes me want to try it. Thanks.

Sure! Thanks.

Ornstein and Smough. Jeez. I feel I need to go back to some earlier areas and level up. Can't even last more than 2 minutes at the moment and I thought I was riding high. I'll be back you dickweeds.

Help! I'm at the Anor Londo bonfire and I accidentally hit Solaire. He's attacking me and won't calm down. I guess I'm screwed if I want to use him for bosses? Shall I kill him or is there a way to get him back onside?

I was whacking everything in Anor Londo with my awesome Crystal Halberd, thinking this game is going to be a breeze now. Almost doubling my attack. But like the novice I am soon realised it's about to break due to max 20 durability. I can fix it with meagre resources but I guess what's the point when it's so fragile..? Should I repair it and stick with it or go back to conventional weapons? (Just one of the great conundrums this game throws up.)

1 Astro Bot 2 Superhot 3 Batman Arkham VR 4 Statik 5 Rez Infinite Don't underestimate number 4. A clever, clever game and cost me less than a tenner.

Yeah, re the snake guys, just run past them. Apart from the mage ones as they are easier to kill. But once you know the layout you can easily run to the next bonfire. (If you can find it, no spoilers).

Sen's Fortress is classic Dark Souls. Intimidating and obtuse at first but now I can run through it like second nature. Anyone use a bow much? I'm finding it really useful for some bosses. The Iron Golem couldn't get close to me. Easiest big dude so far.
