I haven't been reading many reviews.. trying to keep spoilers to a minimum.. but it sounds like this game's world is more like DS1 and Bloodborne in that it's vertical and twisty, winding back and through on itself.  

Yeah, those are impressions I’m getting.

Im excited to see ya'll play this  Ill be missing out but it will be nice to hear your impressions

[Orion 4]

My body is ready, I've been shredding Elden Ring the past 2 months. 

[Mr. Impossible 464]

I still haven't played this shit. I don't love the games that are hard af for no reason type gameplay. But I do want to try some more RPGs out.

not surprising a lemming doesn't like good games.

I already said I enjoyed the original Demons Soul. I just can't see myself replaying the same formula more than once, let alone all the Dark Souls and the remake. 

Did you play Demon Souls? @-GD-X

Ya. I played the remake. Excellent game. 
 

edit: dark souls is its own beast. The interconnectivity is something else. I think you may like Elden Ring or Dark Souls 3, since they both have more QoL improvements, like fast travel (from the start) and way more checkpoints, usually just before a boss. The walk backs aren’t bad.

I'll give it a try then.

Ds3 is pretty linear, while ER is very open. I think ER grabbed me (the first souls game I beat) because you can take so many different paths if you are stuck. There’s a lot of freedom. If you YouTube a starter guide, it makes things less overwhelming and a bit (or even very) OP. I’m not “gud” at these games. I’m just persistent and figure out what strategy works for me. Sometimes magic…sometimes brute force…sometimes dex…you can change builds pretty early on. I tend to farm a bit, so I can have extra levels for a balance/hybrid build, usually a mix of strength and magic.

The expansion downloaded

 

Out of anticipation, I beat Malenia. Swarm of flies got heavily nerfed with her  So, I ditched it immediately. However, Blasphemous Blade killed her in my first run. The sword’s 2 hand fire attack, with my fire boost potion, made me a god. I still can’t believe people need help with her. Maybe they are fighting her too early into the game (that blade is late game).
