Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Svejk don't read this post. Spoilers.
Went to the Depths, got lost, killed a summoner? Fought off some giant rats and basalisks. Couldn't find anything. Somehow found my way back to Undead Asylum just through exploring and it was an incredible experience. Knocked Stray Demon out like a bitch. Very easy but so fun.
Then wandered around, took out all the black knights, found a doll, and fought the warrior from the beginning of the game!
Except he was Hollow now.
Incredible storytelling, level design, use of environment, and build up. Seeing the monster through the cage bars at the beginning only to come back and WRECK SHIT.
The game has also completely clicked at this point and I am LOVING it so much. You feel so powerful coming here and feel so much hope when before there was so much sorrow. Incredible stuff.
Still looking for what to do in the depths but bah gawd I love this game now. It has REALLY clicked for me in the way Bloodborne before it did.
Really glad to give the game another shot after all these years. It feels so satisfying for it finally click after hours and hours of trying in the past.
Again, fuck the people on the first page who said not to bother.
And bonus round, wanted to show off my skills at this point. lmao Feels so good.
AHAHAHAHHAHA
