Dark Souls - Retrospective @ Twinfinite

Twinfinite takes a look back at Dark Souls, and has some sage advice "Don’t Give Up".

The flow of time may be convoluted in Lordran, but in the real world, there’s a mere month until Dark Souls II. For some people, it’ll be a homecoming, a return to a world that’s taken so much, and given back so much more. But naturally with every new entry to a series, it will also bring in a whole batch of new blood, blindly taking their first steps into a world that wants them dead. It’s a fascinating thing to watch someone delving into the Souls world for the first time, seeing them slowly getting to grips with how the cruel world works and, with some unfortunate cases, seeing how much punishment is just too much for some people. If you’ve read anything about Demon’s Souls or Dark Souls, you’ll have heard what I’m going to say a hundred times, but I’m going to say it again, because it’s still so fresh in my mind what my first time in Lordran was like. Don’t give up.
