Even though most fans would love the game to receive some love after so many years, be it through a remaster or just a patch here and there, it’s still arguably one of the best soulslikes there is. The impact it had on the genre is nothing to sneeze at, and so many games have drawn inspiration from it.

What’s your most cherished moment or memory you had with the game? Got lost in the lore? Fell in love with the world building? Honed your combat skills against a certain boss? Let me know!

It’s hard for me to pick a single one, but I’d probably have to give it to the audiobook The Paleblood Hunt. Back when I really got into the game, around 2021/22 it must have been, I sorta knew what the game was about but not enough to know the entirety of the game. So in parallel to my first playthrough, I started listening to the audiobook. In a way, it did kinda spoil some parts of the story, either by explaining plot lines or name-dropping certain characters, but since I couldn’t map them to something I’ve seen, I didn’t remember anyways in the end. Made it all the cooler when I did get to meet the character or boss in the game after hearing about them in the audiobook and let to a kind of aha moment.
