Enjoy. It’s one of the greatest games and one of the greatest franchises of all time.

If you continue with the series and play Dark Souls II next, keep in mind it’s the black sheep of the series. Not to say it’s bad or anything but it’s very different from the rest. You may prefer it, you may hate it, just don’t judge the whole series on it. Dark Souls III and Elden Ring are much more fast paced and a fair bit more challenging once you get into them. Sekiro is basically a different genre and plays much different from the rest but is imo the best first playthrough of the lot. It’s way harder though. Demon’s Souls is slower paced like Dark Souls but has a different world mechanic (hub world where you choose which level to enter, complete it, then go back to the hub and go elsewhere). Bloodborne is the only one you can’t play well on pc (Demon’s Souls isn’t native on pc but you can emulate it quite smoothly), but if you have a PS4/5 it’s a lot of people’s favourite game.
