I had been working my way through a first playthrough of Dark Souls 1. I finally managed to snag it in a Steam sale so I can now officially do a full series playthrough. I’m no stranger to the soulslike genre and found a lucky +5 Black Knight Sword very early on so it’s been a fairly easy run so far, aside from the early souls jankiness which took some getting used to again. I got stuck on Manus and decided to take a break so I’m hoping to get back in and finish tying up loose ends before heading to finish off Gwyn.
I’ve always wished that Souls games had a sliding New Game plus system where I could start a playthrough at like NG+2 or something because NG is generally too easy, but I’m not usually one to do NG+ in general. Once I beat a game once I’m done with it for years usually
Life hasn’t been great recently so I’ve mostly been playing more mindless games where I can have fun and drink beer. Mostly Helldivers 2 and Chivalry 2, maybe Dead Cells or Risk of Rain 2 if I’m in a rougelite kind of mood.
I’m playing my own Souls-game… Elden Ring.
Good luck! I’ve played through most of it, but open world games are tough for me in general. I always have a compulsive need to do and find everything and then end up burning myself out.
I love open-world games, but there’s too much of them, and so they don’t feel that special.
