Not had much time to game these past few weeks but managed to squeeze in a little bit of DS 3 to get back to where I was before my save went kaput. Easiest soulslike I’ve played made even easier by the Farron Greatsword. Very fun!

I love DS3. It was my first souls game so it holds a special place in my heart, but aside from that it’s just such a well made game too. Revisiting it after having played through a bunch of other souls games made me realize how far I had come, because stuff I used to struggle with became manageable which was an awesome feeling. I remember first playing it, I was so bad and was completely stuck on the tutorial boss. Probably dozens of attempts, maybe even 100+. I was awful at the game. Now that I’m actually good at souls games, when I went back to play it again and killed him without taking damage, I felt amazing. Same with the twin princes, that was my wall forever, then when I revisited it I got them first try and didn’t even use all my estus. It was pretty awesome.

You think it’s even easier than DS1? Those bosses have like three moves and punish windows for aeons, plus you have broken poise that lets you just facetank whatever you want if you feel like it. And pyro without mana costs. Anyway in typical Fromsoft fashion the challenge level is stepped up in the DLCs, so maybe those will satiate your appetite. Also… Farron Greatsword my beloved <3
