“..If you just play games for fun, this isn't for you, and no amount of
insistence on my part is going to change that. But if you're interested in the
limits of the videogame form – to see just how focused, how pure and how
uncompromising in its vision a game can be – Dark Souls is unmissable. If you
take the time get into Dark Souls' mindset, to begin to understand the twisted
way in which it operates and taste the rewards behind its cruellest challenges,
this is one of the most thrilling, most fascinating and most completely
absorbing experiences in gaming.” 9/10 – IGN
“…Dark Souls requires intense focus. This isn't a lighthearted romp in a
bright and colorful fantasy world; it's a methodical journey into the
frightening unknown. And that's what makes it so riveting. Some games try to
scare you with bump-in-the-night shocks and far-off howls, but Dark Souls
doesn't require such predictable methods of terror. Its terrors emanate from its
very core, each step bringing you closer to another inevitable death. How
amazing that such a terrible place could be so inviting. The game's world is so
memorable, and its action so thrilling, that it might invade your thoughts even
when you aren't playing, silently urging you to escape the real world and return
to this far more treacherous one. Dark Souls doesn't just surpass other dungeon
crawlers; it skewers them with a razor-sharp halberd and leaves behind their
soulless corpses.” 9.5/10 – Gamespot
