Dark Souls

THE GOOD:
The seemingly non existent plot very slowly and subtly makes its way into the game. You may not really notice it or understand it at all the first time you play, but it's there, and it's very interesting.
It's really difficult, and yes, this is a good thing. It doesn't hold your hand or pat you on the back so everything you do actually feels like you've done it yourself.
The online co op is a great way for new players to make a boss fight easier, or to just enjoy the company of another player as you fight a boss.
The combat in this game is really something else, straying from the usual 'press A until you win' and making it feel like actual strategy. Even regular enemies can kill you if you aren't paying attention to your combat skills.
The world looks beautiful, and it's very big with barely any loading screens.
Fantastic boss fights.

THE BAD:
Multiplayer is difficult to access occasionally. Lags a little in blight town, but not enough to make it a real problem. Can be very dif...

THE GOOD:
Amazing graphics beautiful levels and landscape. A number of places to explore with beautifully designed areas with a dark goth feeling. There are many unique covenants to join that has their own perks or flaws from good, neutral then evil.

Great gameplay easy to get used to, filled with hours of fun. For example I've played it since I've gotten it when it came out and it is still extremely fun. The game boasts an amazing fighting system makes it more realistic, as in if you swing a greatsword you won't feel like you're swinging it around like a knife.

There is a wide array of armor and weapons available that can be upgraded up to +5, +10 and even +15. Some armor and weapons can be gained from bosses too. These items also use an interesting repair and weight system, the latter of which makes it more realistic for being a dark fantasy rpg. A huge array of items aside from these can be collected as well.

THE BAD:
The game is extremely hard but gets easier as you get used to it. ...
