Blindspots is a new, irregular series in which I play games, series or genres that I have, for one reason or another, never spent significant time with. Sometimes that’s because of simple omission, other times it’s because I’ve deliberately avoided them – convinced that I wouldn’t enjoy them or that they were poor quality. My intent is to play each for long enough that, at the very least, I understand their appeal in order that I no longer dismiss them out of hand, but ideally I’ll reach the point where I break through the wall of ignorance or fear and love them as my own.
We begin with the Souls games, specifically the recent Dark Souls III. I have resolutely steered clear of this series because I have been certain that they would be too ‘difficult’ for me. Because I am a pathetic little babyman.
