Dark Souls - Editorial @ Eurogamer

Eurogamer is back with another article about games that have defined this gaming generation. The game talked about this time is Dark Souls.

Rich Stanton called Dark Souls "a game where the mechanics are also the metaphors". Maybe the reason the atmosphere is so mournful is that the entire game is a metaphor, full of ideas and systems that are dying even faster than the demons we slay, resurrected here not in hope of re-establishing them, but to ponder their moving remains.
