Abstract: Even in my earliest playing hours with FromSoftware's Dark Souls III, I couldn't escape the feeling that the experience of playing this game is like moving through Kübler-Ross' 5 stages of grief. A quick google search will yield that I'm not the only revi...

Abstract: Undoubtedly, FromSoftware stands as a pinnacle in developing some of the finest video games of our generation. Leading this success are some of the best Dark Souls games. In contrast to many other developers, a FromSoftware release resonates like the impa...
Abstract: When Namco Bandai was originally pitched on this series by From Software, you have to wonder what that meeting was like. They wanted to build a game that was incredibly challenging, many players would get so frustrated they would not finish and at every t...
