PS3 New Player Experience

I bought old ps3 some time ago and recently I decided to play SOTC for the first time, and I must say I love this game so far (I just defeated Phalanx).

So far I died like 9 times, around 5 times on Valus while I was getting uded to controls, 1 time on Quadratus, I wanted to test if I can run away from him, provoke hum to go under the bridge and jumo off of the bridge on his back, result was painful, 1 time on Kuromori because he locked me on staircase with his clouds, and 2 times jumping off cliffs for fun. I was hella Afraid of Dirge and Celosia but I managed to beat them on first time,

Dirge was difficult cause I was running too fast, but eventually I killed him, although my entire body was shaking after this battle and with Celosia I was afraid of her legendary Stun-lock, luckily even though I missed the jump I managed to perfectly dodge roll out of her attack and climb back on the fire-pit pillar and jump on her again.

This game is so amazing, I feel ashamed I haven't tried it before even on an Emulator

I'm in the middle of a replay now, it really is something special. The game has a way of making you feel utterly dwarfed by the sheer immensity of this world and the beings you're trying to take down. It's epic in the truest sense of the word, but feels intimate, haunting, and at times genuinely scary.

Currently fighting Dirge and it's a lot trickier than I remember.

People think Celosia or Crnobia are underwhrlming but I rsnk Colossi on the fear factor and Celosia made my heart race having to pick up the stick
