I just got 100%/platinum in this game. Definitely the hardest for me to git gud at, but once it clicked, man did I have a blast
Damn, congrats!
Yeah perfect game for me!
I argue the game does have levels; but those levels are very meticulously dolled out by the developer and not your own free will. You “level up” by using Memories and the Dancing Dragon Mask (to exchange skill points for AP).
Is there a souls game where you can level up before the first boss though?
Bloodborne if you use a Madman’s Knowledge before encountering either the Cleric Beast or Father Gascoigne, this unlocks thr Doll in The Hunters Dream.
True enough.
Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 2, Elden Ring. Even if you don’t count Demon’s Souls and Elden Ring because you meet a boss before you can level there is still DS2, which has no tutorial boss, and requires you to move through an area before fighting the first boss (which will be either Last Giant, Pursuer, Dragonrider, Old Dragon Slayer, Najka, or the Rotten if I remember correctly).
You have defined boss battles before the ability to level in both Demon’s Souls and Elden Ring but DS2 and Bloodborne both let you level before a boss fight.
Still my favorite game. The glock saint is such a fun fight
So cool giving him a heart attack with his own lightning
