Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition



I finished it. Twice. Once as a warrior-tank, and the second time as a mage (it was definitely easier as a mage, plus I already knew where everything was and how it worked. Except for the particularly fast bosses, where blocking all attacks is pointless and you need to dodge, which I'm not very good at). It's a great game, despite all the deaths from taking two hits, drinking Estus at the wrong time, and my favorite thing – falling from anywhere and everywhere. And also the paranoia. You constantly feel like someone is going to attack you from around the corner, from behind, or from above, that something will fly at you. Once, after playing for a long time, I went outside and started automatically looking carefully at the ground, up, and peering around corners, lol.
I liked how the locations are designed and connected to each other, all these transitions, elevators, and other things. During my first playthrough, the Fortress of Sen was the most annoying. I kept falling and messing up. Visually, I liked the Ash Lake the most. It made me want to lie down on the white sand and look at the sky, listening to the music that's playing there.
I'll also note the atmosphere. It's wonderful. Decay, ruin, despair, hopelessness, a taste of decay in your mouth, and souls as currency, mmm... Apathetic or crazy characters giving excellent advice,

the corpses of "heroes" of the past, a noble Knight who lost to EVIL, an empty city of gods, Knights protecting an illusion, and even the sun isn't real here... And the final boss fits perfectly. A weak old man, a shadow, a ghost, desperately trying to protect the established order, or rather, what's left of that order. I felt sorry for killing him, and the music was so sad. I suddenly felt melancholic. Maybe I should start the second one, although I'm not in the mood.
Небо – мольбы не ждёт
Небо – угроз не слышит
Небо – ведёт особый счёт
Небо – тебя найдёт
