brutal game, but always come back for more punishment.

I still have to finish its predecessor, Demon's Souls

prefer dark souls for the open world and rare checkpoints which are nicely placed.

I heard Dark Souls wasn't that different from Demon's Souls...

Instead of traveling back to central hub to repair weapons and upgrade armor, the whole process can be done at the bonefires. One anchilles heel - if you rest at the sites, all enemies respawn except bosses. oh yes, You begin with 10 flasks ( milk shakes ) to restore your health in the adventure.

Tru true lol wanna teach me the basics???
