Back in 2019, I started playing dark souls, started unfortunately with the 3rd one, I say unfortunately because there were a lot of things that I knew I didn't understand, still, I loved the experience and found a world full of story, love, sorrow, sadness, and madness.

During the pandemic in 2020 I started it, a playthrough that just surprised me every bit, and hooked me instantly, after making DS3 platinum I had an idea of the physics, but still needed help for I was still a newbie.

The themes, stories, and characters latched on to me and made me understand parts of my life I didn't understand, I haven't played this in a while, the last souls game I played was sekiro and of course ill play Elden ring in the future, but there is nothing like this, the mystery, the pain, the nostalgia is something completely unique.

The lore videos show how big the lore truly is, there are theories that are made purely with the location of certain assets, and those theories may as well be a reality, for Fromsoft doesn't do anything for nothing's sake.
The Souls games gave me warmth in cold times and introduced me to some of the best music I've heard and Berserk which is heavily inspired in.

One of my favorite quotes:

Life is brilliant. Beautiful. It enchants us, to the point of obsession.
Some are true to their purpose, though they are but shells, flesh, and mind.
One man lost his own body, but lingered on, as a head.
Others chase the charms of love, however elusive.
What is it that drives you?

In summary, I completely recommend this masterpiece if you have the time and patience, it just keeps on giving every play-through, you will want to do every thing over and over again, like a dream

I rewrote this review because I feel this is the only game that truly deserves respect and of course PRAISE THE SUN!

Well, almost 2 years later and only these past few months I was able to properly understand this massive work, even tho I platinumed the entire game in under a week the first time, only while doing this slowly and studying how to properly melt bosses gave the experience I was looking for, for a while playing vidya again after burn out didn't feel good, but Elden ring truly helped me get back on track to clear out souls like games again, in the entire lore, the primeval current and the demon that is shabriri helped me get the spice I was looking for. Doing this game as Kanye West with the Kamehameha and Lady Gaga with a bleed build (broken), was surely a lot of fun, it's no surprise that 10 percent of my screenshots are Elden ring stills or of just gameplay, the game is stunning and excels with a proper pc setup.
"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends."

In short, MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
