Dark Souls III: Okay, NOW it gets hard. 

So, after triumphantly smashing my way through three Souls games in a row, I wasn’t going to be able to put off buying DS3 until the next Steam sale. What I’m saying is, I bought a PC game at full … Continue reading

Did I Actually Just Finish Dark Souls II?

Yes.  Yes, I did. Dark Souls II is one of those games that is a little divisive among fans of the series.  It’s a little less free-form and a little more linear than the original Dark Souls, and there are … Continue reading
