Had it recommended to me by a bunch of friends. Was very skeptical at first, thinking that I would either ragequit or feel crushed by frustrating fights. Ironically, I found myself bearing the mentality of "Just one more go" everytime I retry a boss. The dopamine spike that you get from killing a boss you've spent a lot of time on is unmatched.

The game is big, insanely big, giving you a lot of places to explore and always come back to something that you might've initially missed. The weapon variety give you a lot of options and allows for a lot of replayability.
Other than that, I truly believe that the game also helps you learn to concentrate a lot in crucial moments, which doesn't necessarily have to pertain to videogames.

For my first souls game, I'm really impressed and wish to discover some of the previous iterations later down the line.
If you've got it wishlisted or heard from friends but you still remain uncertain as I was, I highly recommend that you give it a go.
