I‘m happy for fans to get more, but the franchise never managed to grab me. And it‘s really hard to explain why since I don‘t have anything bad to say about the games I‘ve played. I guess they play it so safe that they‘re bland and unmemorable to me. Like it‘s less an engaging work of art and more a piece of homework by the book that‘s trying hard to be inoffensive and completely risk-averse to not upset the teacher.
But that’s just my opinion anyway, and not every game has to be for me.

I only played 1 and the very beginning of 2. First one had that weird brawler/edgy Legend of Zelda mix that kinda filled a void at the time for me. It was not incredible, but it was well made and fun.
Now that I think about it, it was around the time I got a 360 because Nintendo had nothing to release for a while, and beyond a few other games, I got Bayonetta, this and Lords of Shadow. That was a very brawly period in my library.
Not sure why I didn’t get far in 2. I got it on Wii U, in a bundle if I remember correctly. I mostly remember a very dark and rocky starting area that must not have caught my interest.

Wow, what a trip down the memory lane! I got DS1 together with my 360 as well, which also was my first console ever. Did thoroughly enjoy it, probably because it was a fairly small selection of games. But at the time the setting and themes were very interesting to me. Got very hyped when 2 was released, maybe hoping for the same high, but it simply did not click with me.
