It's so funny to me how everyone talks about the souls games about how hard and punishing and dark they are but whenever someone asks me about them I'm like I like starting a new file and seeing all the other people starting too and running with me and waving and everyone leaving messages like "don't give up!" And "behold! Friend!" And seeing someone leave a message by a cliff saying "secret ahead!" And it's surrounded by bloodstains
Like idk I know it's not really a co-op game and the souls games always have that air of loneliness and solitude to them but also there's that glow of camaraderie and the briefest reminder you aren't alone and that despite everything people will still see a turtle and feel compelled to leave a comment that says "dog"
