I’ve played through most of the soulslikes I put my mind to but I still haven’t played/finished DS1/2.

I started a playthrough of DS1 and got to Quelaag but didn’t actually fight her because I was cursed and wanted to cleanse it first - couldn’t find my way back, unfortunately, and didn’t want to look up guides lol. And now the save is gone, so I’ll have to start over - ie. I probably won’t play anytime soon :D

Haven’t played DS2 yet because I wanted to play them in chronological order.

What about you?

    Can’t say I’ve put it off for years because it’s still quite recent (came out a year ago), but I’ve been putting off Enotria: The Last Song because of its mixed reviews on Steam. Well, I got reminded of it being on my Wishlist thanks to a recent sale, and while I didn’t buy it it did make me pirate it to try it first.

    It’s actually really good so far. It runs well so far for me, though I can’t say whether the performance issues that seem to be behind the mixed reviews were patched or it’s just me having a decent machine.

    The theme, setting and art direction is amazing - the Commedia Dell’Arte basis for the lore is super unique and it’s great to play a soulslike that is bright and beautiful for a change instead of the usual grimdark. The story seems intriguing, though I’ve only just played the beginning.

    Combat and character building seems deeper and more involved than typical, with both skill trees, four active abilities in combat and a sort of stance change system. I also have to give praise for a very unique and different element and status system that is completely unlike the usual tired fire-water-earth-air and its derivatives.

    From what I’ve seen I definitely recommend checking it out, though maybe pirate it first just in case.
