3 October 20119.5/10Death also means losing the souls you have in your possession. Souls are the game's currency and are used to level up, buy equipment, improve your weapons and armor, purchase new spells, and more. If you want to retrieve those lost souls, you must return to the bloodstain that marks the ground where you expired. And so you must ask yourself while exploring: Is it worth the risk to press onward, and accumulate more souls, or should you spend them now? Read more

Dark Souls is the spiritual successor and has everything that made Demon Souls a great game. Solid controls that require timing and tactics rather than button mashing and keen management of your endurance. The enemies are tough, you will die a lot, but it’s also very rewarding to complete a real challenge. Read more
