    Okay awesome. Thanks, I think I’m going to try it.

    I definitely hated the controls and confining movement of dark souls 1 when I tried it, but maybe I’ll enjoy the more rapid response of a modern open world type thing.

    Sounds like I was just being a negative Nancy!

      I hope you like it. The controls are a refinement of ds1, but they’re basically the same joysticks for movement + camera, shoulder buttons for hands.

      Some last advice from me:

      • you don’t have to kill everything. You can often just walk away or run past.
      • you can almost always leave and come back later after leveling up, improving your equipment, or just clearing your head.
      • read item descriptions
      • pay attention to the UI. When you look at a weapon, it will tell you what stats you need for it and what stats increase its damage.
      • read the help text for the UI. I think you push select and move the cursor around to get the explainers.
      • HP is the most important thing. Don’t neglect it when leveling up. Stamina is also important. There are a lot of videos online of people getting one shot by bosses because they have like the minimum possible HP. Don’t do that.
      • dying doesn’t really matter. It feels bad, but you get used to it.

        Someone else mentioned that the inventory load effects the roll speed, so maybe I went wrong there also.

        Thanks for the tips, I’ll definitely put them into play.
