The controls in Dark Souls are very fluent and user friendly. The main advice I can give is that if you try to play it the way you play Skyrim or most other RPGs, you're gonna get consistently REKT, the only game with remotely similar combat to Dark Souls is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The biggest mistake people make when fighting in Dark Souls is they run in and just try to kill the enemies quickly, which is a BIG NO NO. Combat in Dark Souls is all about timing, strategy, and patience. While the games are unforgiving, if you die in Dark Souls it is your fault. YOU did something wrong if you died. The best thing is to be patient, get to know the areas and enemies, and learn from your mistakes. If you play the game right, it will be one of the 'greatest games you've ever played. '
