There’s a gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach.
But now it’s quiet.
I edge forward, slowly, before pausing.
I rise to my feet, take two steps forward and BLOODY HELL!
Where did that zombie dog come from, and why has half of my health bar vanished?
It’s a tale as old as time, isn’t it?
Just likeDemon’s Souls.
They’re both set in gothic worlds, each filled with the most abhorrent and twisted baddies.
They unfold under the cloak of darkness and are driven by stomach-turning sound design.
Of course it does, but these thematic cornerstones reflectFromSoftwaregames on a ubiquitous scale as opposed to anything specific.
Which is as impossible as it sounds.
It’s left me a bit of a blubbering mess, truth be told.
Can you blame me?
And a long-grass-hiding zombie bastarding dog.
I will happily wait another 27 years before being scared so shitless again.
It’s definitely spooky, butis Shadow of the Erdtree too difficult?
