Game Vault

A very short but enjoyable experience. The gameplay, while feeling clunky at times, was surprisingly fun despite how unfair the gameplay was (enemies spawning right next to you, extremely precise jumps that you essentially do leaps of faith for). Almost every level was awesome and the boss fights were ok. The art is great for its time and still hold up decently today. The true timeless aspect of it is the music. The soundtrack is amazing and so many amazing tunes on it. This is a game I'll definitely come back and play.

Played Urpina's story (which is the most railroaded). The game is very non-linear and has an amazing combat system. Game mechanics are super daunting at first but once I understood them, the game flowed very well. The game being only the overworld map (no dungeons) was weird at first but then I felt like every area was it's own dungeon. Urpina's story did not flow well between chapters but it was good. Characters were super interesting. Very minimal on cut scene story telling, it let the world build your own story.

Was definitely fun, but the final boss was half fighting the camera so I skipped it. The cutscenes were kinda ass for the most part

This game has some crazy movement tech that is so fun to use, unfortunately I only found out about it in the last hour.

Despite not being part of the dark souls trilogy, it is very soulslike. This game is immensely sick and is a shame that it's locked on the ps4. The atmosphere and combat is so cool. The only downside is the amount of gimmick bosses.

This game is very nearly perfect. It's only fault is that there is not enough legacy dungeons as those were the best part of the game by far. It being so open world was a bit detrimental to the game. The story was there I guess.

Interesting to play the origins of the souls series but it was unfortunate that the remake changed the art direction. Combat felt super solid.

An extremely fun game, though I was missing the slow gameplay of the previous entries. The linearity of the game is a bit disappointing.

This is seen as the worst of the souls game but I really enjoyed it. The game clicked (in the way that all souls do) earlier than the others and just smooth.

This game is perfect for the first half and mediocre for the second half, however I only think of the first half when thinking of this game. Playing it was a transformative experience and opened my eyes to a lot of game design philosophy.
