Hey guys, I just started this game. I have some questions:
- How long is a playthrough of this game? Is it as long as the Black Souls games?
- Do we keep our stats/levels in new game plus?
- Is there any specific way I should be playing? I've been exploring and killing bosses, but I feel kind of lost. I loved the Black Souls games and I see this one being compared to it, but I haven't felt the same "hook" that the BS games had.
1- It's nowhere nears as big as Black Souls, much less Black Souls 2, but it's definitely fun and charming in it's own way and it's got enough content to keep you hooked. Timewise, You can probably fully finish this game about 3 or 4 times in the time it takes to finish BS1 100%.
2- Yes, after you get an ending, much like in Black Souls, you loop back to the start with all your levels and items.
3- My recommendation? Just play normally. You'll start getting the hang of things and connecting the dots as you go along. If you ever feel TOO lost then you can check the walkthrough but for me personally, this game is pretty freaking good to not play blind the first time. Especially the True End which is peak fiction.
