“отличная кайфовая игра для вечеров”
Отличная кайфовая игра для вечеров после работы, если вы хотите, чтобы вас больше никогда и ничего не могло выбесить так же сильно, как 200 раз драться с одним и тем же необязательным мини-боссом...

“Dark Souls perfectly mirrors life; you only lose when you give up” (83)
В конце концов, Dark Souls отлично дублирует жизнь. Ты можешь падать десятки, сотни и даже тысячи раз, но проигравшим ты считаешься лишь тогда, когда окончательно сдался.
