Flashback

The Dark Souls series has spawned a separate genre of "Souls-like" games. The basic idea of these games is that they provide the player with a real challenge. If he dies, he loses some resources, and to get them back, he needs to return to the place of death. To defeat some bosses, you will have to spend some time to understand their habits, die 10 times more and defeat them with a sense of triumph. It is also important to note that the Dark Souls series does not provide players with a lot of plot information, and they have to analyse the story on their own. This genre of games is not for everyone, so before embarking on such adventures, think about whether you are ready for all the features that await you.
