IGN writes: "When we talk about Demon's Souls, we talk about its mercilessness, its atmospheric bleakness, its bold individuality in a world full of games so terrified of challenging you that they won't even trust you to figure out which button to press on your own. What we don't talk about very much is its sense of humour; the moments where it lured you so effortlessly and elegantly into a horrible trap that you couldn't help but laugh as a boulder flattened your body against a wall or a hundred arrows pierced your armour. It's a mischievous game, always looking for new ways to impale you on your own expectations".

mh ur right actually.
dark souls plays around with horror themes without being a straight "horror" game.
bloodborn definitely starts out as that haha.
Cannot wait. Just reading the article prompted me to start a new Demon's Souls game. Now all I have to decide is if I want to be evil this time around or good.
This is the kind of game this gen SORELY needs and is HEAVILY lacking in.
I can't wait for October. The closure of the Demon's Souls servers will be a sad day, but the arrival of Dark Souls will be a joyous one.
Well, the developers did say that they wanted the player to die so often it would become funny.
Looks like they have succeeded.
This is easily my most anticipated game of the year.
