Richard Walker

Dark Souls is hard as nails. That much is obvious, and if you're planning on playing (or have already played it), you'll be more than aware of that fact.

But is it all worth it? Is repeated death really fun? Does Dark Souls reward players who persevere with its gruelling difficulty, or is it all just a thankless chore?

Read our definitive Dark Souls review to find out.
