Demon's Souls had notable frame rate issues, particularly in the Valley of Defilement and the later parts of Boletaria when more than 4 enemies were on screen at once.(the on PS3 bit doesn't matter as there are no other options) Though Demon's Souls still had better frame rate and was cleaner and tighter than Dark Souls 1(I assume because DS1 was built as a multi-platform title) DS1 had a much more interesting artistic world that distracted you from the graphical shortcomings though.

I feel like finesing your opponents position is to replicate one of the most important parts of the Souls series that while rarely spoken is subconsciously known, the positioning of enemies and your character based on your build. More than stamina management or even shielding and blocking positioning means the most, by pushing in the video game just enough to gall your enemies into range while exposed would be hard to replicate in a board game so this player influencing of the enemies in the board game is the closest we can get.

Tommy Faust I'm not a massive board game fan but £90/$120 does seem somewhat standard for a game of this type. Also, I think it's the heavy duty printed components that are a large part of the cost. In this case they were all done in Germany so are of a higher quality than might be expected had they been done in China or the like, but that obviously has a cost implication. Also the fact that the thing weighs in at 3.5kg means that transport costs are going to make up a larger percentage of RRP than might be expected. The actual cost of injection molding some PVC figures is probably one if the smaller portions of the overall costs.

Audiodump People that don't grind for souls don't know how to play a souls game.

I'm sorry, I have to say it. If you're farming souls in Dark Souls, that's indicative that you're doing something wrong.

So when you have 38 strength but need 40 for the boss weapon you just got, you wait until you level up naturally? You never feel it would be easier to just spent 5 minuets farming, then use the weapon you want to use? Or when you want to get into the SL120 PvP sweetspot, you just play through half the game waiting for it to happen by itself? Or when you need souls to buy titanite chunks to upgrade your latest weapon to +10, you don't speed that up? Get the fuck out of here with your "real fans don't grind" bullshit.

Matt well I end up farming souls but that's usually only to get to the correct pvp level

Consumable souls bridge the gap for when you need a quick level up or two to use a weapon or piece of armor. Farming beyond that is intentionally setting out to break the balance of the game (which was acknowledged when DS2 stopped enemies from respawning after 7 kills)

Matt so using what the game gives you to your advantage is breaking the balance of the game? I remember my first time playing pvp for real, going to the forest with Alva and stuff, and I felt very frustrated to be invaded by people with way better gear and equipment. If I wanted to have a chance, I had to farm. And by farming I eventually upgraded the Claymore to +15 and my armor and finally started to do better. So farming is crucial in some situations and it can't be breaking the game balance, because most people only farm to upgrade gear or get to SL120 to do pvp. I get your point tho that if you just go for PVE then yeah farming isn't needed.

I'm glad you gave this a good review after Kickstarting and waiting patiently for my delivery and, after seeing the great taste in board games behind you I have full faith. Thanks Johnny! Give us more board game reviews!

Excellent video and loved your delivery as well. I'd be very happy to see more reviews! (Now the waiting game for my copy to arrive...)

Jesse Stern Metric system was invented by Math Scrubs trying to make an easy mode for measurements. The English Standard system is for the real players. Git Gud Europe!

Me and my best friend are going in 50/50 on this bad boy and I'm seriously​ super stoked, I really liked your clear and concise review, hope to see more content like this in the future. Maybe if you think it's a good idea do a little 2 part series with a couple encounters played out start to finish and a mini boss and a zone boss fight video. I would totally watch you guys play it!

Great video and review Johhny. Im a huge board game fan and I think its great that Eurogamer are also doing board game videos. Keep up the good work!

This needs expansions that include EVERYTHING. We need EVERY boss, EVERY notable (and even un-notable) enemy, EVERY weapon, so on and so forth.

Fingers crossed for Fume Knight release further down the line in an expansion

Oooooh Johnny Chiodini saying that our Feedback...(ula) is much appreciated. Boy, I miss those days. Great review btw.

Chiodini's game room. This is great, do more for sure! I love board games but as my circle of friends got older, I was the only one that remained interested. I've got cool games I'd love to try still in the shrink wrap. :-\

I'd just want the player/enemy/boss pieces tbh, they look pretty cool.

Absolutely great video! Good introduction to the game before getting a hands on experience. Enjoyed the structure of your video a lot so keep it up. Would love to see some future video's of some expansions if you got your hands on any of them or perhaps will in the future. I've backed the vanilla game along with the Sif expansion + extra forest tiles. So would love to see your approach and analysis as the game keeps developing, perhaps more expansions will be added we never know... Keep up the work!!

Great review... I played the game for the first time last night. I picked up the game pretty quick and felt the same as you. The 90 to 120 min time was well under. We played our first campaign over 5 hours! My group love coop board games and I would like to see more reviews from you.

Slave Knight Gael (song) in the background gave me chills

I like the boss moveset repeating idea, it simulates in game boss combo's and movesets rewarding people who pay attention, but I feel like it might be a bit too simple? It could be they decided to not overcomplicate bosses since they want the board game to be as easy to understand as possible since the difficulty is going to be a problem already for getting sales. However one thing they could do is have two sets of boss moveset cards with a coin or die that decides which moveset to use for how many turns. Basically giving the boss two combos or movesets they can alternate between you have to keep in mind further simulating the few combos bosses in game have

The stat requirements for a lot of the items don't make sense, like the miracle force - requiring intelligence. Plus much more unnecessary int and faith requirements for some weapons, like they never played the video game. Also no parry mechanics? I do like the endurance bar. Just did my first playthrough with some friends and it was definitely fun. I give it a 7.5/10 for some things that I want to change (house rules) to make it just slightly more like the video game. If you are a fan get it! Also no parry dice? Parrying is usually the most effective and rewarding action in the game.

After playing this a couple times and understanding the rules and not having to refer to the manual, it only took about 45 min to get to the miniboss 4player game. It really only takes over 2 hours when you're learning, referring to the manual and realizing your strategies didn't work. So even in the boardgame you have no choice but to GIT GUD.

I'm sad now I thought this would be like almost similar to warhammer where I have to build the miniatures and paint them and when you get expansions you have to build them too .... ill go cry in corner now

I mean you can still paint them. I've thought about painting the miniatures for the dark souls and bloodborne board games

This was a great review, the way Johnny comes across, the layout of the review. Loved it. Would definitely watch more of it, great work. :)
