Dark Souls

PlayStation 3 | 2011 | FromSoftware

Dark Souls is unique, the scenarios convey a feeling of darkness and loneliness, reminding me a lot of Berserk, and the sound only contributes to this feeling. The bulk of the story is told through the description of items, but this doesn't made the game worse since each of the npc's stories fill that gap.

Hollowing in the Dark Soul is a deep concept, it's a microcosmo of losing your purpose on the real world or can also be seen as a metaphor for depression, those that go hollow submit to their darkest feelings, their sadness, dread, they give up and lose themselves, life is about overcoming challenges, solving problems, encarving some meaning out of your existence, what value does a persons life have if they don't try to acomplish something? What satisfaction do you get from life when there are no problems to solve? Just as characters go hollow in Dark Souls you to would go hollow in the real world if you did nothing with your life.

Dark Souls is clearly one of the best videogames of history with a lot more concepts i can't comprehend right now, but i sure want to explore them in the future.

Crash Bandicoot

PlayStation | 1996 | Naughty Dog

Crash is one of the first games i played and during my youth the Bandicoot series was my favorite. A lot of people says Crash Bandicoot is a hard game, for a child yes, when a was a brat i took years to beat the first game, but nowdays it only took me five hours.

The game itself is better then i remember, the controls are great, the bosses are very fun, the graphics are gorgeous (take Sunset Vista for example), the music is great but forgettable, the story only serves to give context for the game and the map with the three islands it's a show apart

Besides the game difficulty, Crash Bandicoot is easily one of the best games on PlayStation, you must give it a try

Final Fantasy

Nintendo Entertainment System | 1987 | Square

I always wanted to play the Final Fantasy series starting from the fisrt entrie, but every time i watched a video talking about the whole franchise every single guy says "stay away from the first game" this moved me away from the game, but i finally decided to play it and now i can say all these people are wrong!

Final Fantasy is an awesome game because he revolutionized the genre at the time, the gameplay is very satisfactory with lots of abilities to choose, the graphics are ok even though NES has better stuff, for the sound come on guys it's a nes i really don't expect something awesome although the theme music is impressive, and finally the story is pretty good despite being simple.

I think Final Fantasy deserves more atention, the game are not that hard especially if you are used to farm.
