In fact, the combat system feels in need of a fair few tweaks over the next few months. Attacks and parries don’t feel as immediate and responsive as they should, and the lumbering movement speed and mechanics are clunky to the extreme."

Bandai Namco has released its latest financial report, revealing that the Dark Souls series has reached around 40 million units combined.
Before Elden Ring and Bloodborne, FromSoftware's talents for all things creepy and chilling gave Dark Souls an atmosphere unlike any other.
This feels like the epitome of a 'tepid take'. Dark Souls has always worn its gothic horror influences on its sleeve, it isn't exactly subtle.
mh ur right actually.
dark souls plays around with horror themes without being a straight "horror" game.
bloodborn definitely starts out as that haha.
Actually, when you die, you still have the "lose all your souls" unless you can touch it again before dying mechanic.
Clunky combat? From all accounts it plays like the first one, the first one had strategic weight on purpose. It was a timing thing.
No fanfare "special move?" Its like this article never played Demon's Souls. My gawd, if FromSoftware installed a "Press X for Awesome" button, then it wouldn't even be a "Souls" game.
Obviously this author either (A) Never Played Demon's Souls; (B) Hates Demon's Souls; or (C)just failed to see why Demon's Souls commands the cult that it does.
