“get gud? But no, kind of really. This game taught me the difference between challenging, but fair, and challenging, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Early on, I thought I was dying to some nonsense, but I eventually learned a couple of…”
“pretty good game! I like it so far, the only thing I don't like is that it's capped at 60FPS, which makes ME motion sick pretty quickly. Otherwise, if you have patience and the ability to learn, it's great!”
“Very fun game, very little time required to finish it, doesn't induce any anger when played”

“You don't need me to tell you this game is good. It's incredibly frustrating to me, I wish I could play it longer but I don't like being so punished. The world seems amazing if I could just see more of it than the…”
“Solid game, would give it a 10/10. To be frank though, if you are new to soulslike games like me (and are as stupid as I am), you wont enjoy the game for the first twoish hours. It hard, especially at the beginning.…”
“First souls game and this is truly something I am so glad that I was born when I was because it allows me to enjoy this masterpiece f the godskin duo tho”
