I liked the visuals of Demon’s Souls a lot and appreciate the level designs, but even though I managed to finish the game, I found the levels themselves a little too hard sometimes - especially the poison swamp levels. A little too much going on for how little is available to you, I feel like.

How about you?

    Yeah, that makes sense to me. I suppose I was imprecise in my original comment: the tells are obvious, but you do have to see them a couple times to learn what they are.

    Personally I enjoy these process of learning the boss and figuring out its tricks, so the feints and timing mix-ups make the fight more enjoyable to beat because it adds depth and challenge to that process. I feel more like I’m fighting a smart opponent who will try to deceive me, and so eventually seeing through their tricks is a lot of fun.
