Splitkick: Dark Souls is bitingly cold. The player is thrust into the midst of this desolate landscape without explanation, hopeless and lacking direction. If you were smart, this is where you would stop. Eject the disk. Maybe put it on eBay or just store it on your shelf as a memento. Unlike Sisyphus, the choice has been given. Don’t fool yourself; you don’t have to begin this.
But if you’re anything like me, it can’t be helped. It’s a compulsion – a sickness.

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.
Worst Dark Souls review. Not really a review, anyway.
To the author: go back to Uni and learn the difference between a comparative essay and a review. Also, while you're there, try to pick up a few hints about something called "objectivity". Reviews aren't supposed to read like a blog. People don't want to read your life's story or which philosophers you read, they want to know how well the game delivers on its promise. And, for this one, it's a hell of a lot better than 7/10.
(Oh, also: don't use fancy words if you don't know them. It's not "corporal", it's "corporeal". That's just one of many examples I could have pulled from your comparative essay/ blog.)
