Upon seeing people playing Dark Souls 3, I decided to pick up a game I haven't played in a while. It has been so long sine I sat and seriously played it that I don't remember beating it. The reason I chose this game is because it is maddeningly hard (like Dark Souls games) and I believe most of the creative team for one series worked on the other. After 8 consecutive deaths from falling into deep water, I remember why I may have put it aside and not completed it. Below are some of the bullet points.
-If you die once, no matter how far along you are in the game, you go back to the beginning: level 1, starting area and only a dagger to begin with.
-No dual analog controls. To move or turn left and right you would use a dpad. Strafe with the shoulder buttons and look up and down with trigger buttons.
-You have to navigate stairs, platforms, etc. stuck in first person view.
- The only way to really defeat most enemies is to dive in and out (if you're ballsy or if they are stuck somewhere) or moving behind or to the flank of the enemy.
-Your controls are a bit clumsy and there are multiple enemies or enemies that have ranged, status effects or both, or just enemies that can move much more agilely than you. --But despite all this, I keep falling into the deep water, because my character apparently lost the ability to swim upon getting to the island.
