Well, maybe this is not the best place to ask that question because everyone around here love the Soul series, so most likely everyone will tell you to go buy it ASAP.

However, I'd still highly recommend you to get it, just be advised that it doesn't have the flashiest graphics, voice acting or musical score. If you're getting it for PC, be warned that the game runs horribly, with choppy framerate and at a very low resolution. You will have to use a mod called DSFix (everyone I know that has the game, uses that mod).

Still, don't get discouraged. You're thrown into the world with no idea where to go. First thing you notice, the game is extremely easy, all enemies don't pose any threat and they fall swiftly one by one. Next thing you know, you're obliterated by six immortal skeletons in a dark catacomb. But the beauty of this, is that every time you die, you learn a lot from your past mistakes and then you learn to approach the situation in a different way, making more and more progress each time.

All the lore surrounding what really happened to the King of Lordran, passively starts getting into your mind and by the end of the game you end up understanding why he ended up the way you encounter him and what was the role of all those involved in him turning that way.

I would really, really recommend you to get the game. I played it again about a month ago and ended up doing four playthroughs consecutively. That inspired me to play Dark Souls II and also gave it four playthroughs. Now I'm anxiously waiting for the release of the third game.

Hope that helped, regards. Thanks, LeVey. I play on the Xbox 360 and One. My primary focus before buying a game is the story. Lore is an added bonus. An open world is fantastic but I can survive withot it. Everything else is secondary, includng graphics and voice acting. Heck, I do boss runs on Majora's Mask every so often for fun.
