Time Spent:

The Bottom Line:

"Immersive"

Dark souls is an incredibly engage-ing and enjoyable experience that has re-ignited my desire for RPG's. Although the game takes some time getting used to, in the end the difficult and responsive combat combined with challenging boss fights leaves you with the feeling of satisfaction(and yes, some frustration as well). The game's world itself is dark and immersive, with a wide variety of settings and monsters. Also, there are plenty of armor sets and weapons, as well as spells to use, so that there is a huge variety in player appearance as well as playing style. My advice, give this game a chance, you might die a lot at first, but once you get the jist of it, it's incredible fun.

-Some advice, before you start the game it's very helpful to watch beginner's guides on youtube, such as (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iAzs29FLso&feature=related), following some of these steps will make the game much easier throughout the beginning of the game.
