Camel Clutch

     I'd like to take this time to say that Demon's Souls is fantastic. I, like a lot of other people played Dark Souls first, and expected a very similar game. And it is, in a lot of ways, with the sort of heavy, weighty combat that the games are known for and the same graphical style and whatnot. The game really has its own distinct feel from the spiritual sequel. The entire game is literally shrouded in fog and the areas are split into smaller chunks instead of Dark Soul's giant, interconnected areas. I'd actually say Demon's Souls is more challenging than the notorious sequel, it does a stellar job of making you pay for every small trinket on your person. Wearing basically any armor greatly impedes your movement, yet you've gotta do it to stay alive. And of course the same incredible, melancholy soundtrack you'd expect from a game about dead knights kicking the shit out of each other. Or something. I don't think it's actually about that. Next time- Platinum Games (Ooooooh, exciting!)

  1. Demon's Soul may be a great game, but it's not nearly as great as Shrek 2, the video game.
