A Journey to the Heart of Desolation: Dark Souls III

It is an experience that plunges you into reflective depths, an emotional journey where every step is a struggle not only against unseen enemies but also against your own limitations.

At first, Dark Souls III may seem like an intimidating giant. Its difficulty has become legendary; however, behind every obstacle and mistake you encounter lies an opportunity for growth. It is true that the gravity mechanics can play tricks on you, and falling from the highest reaches of the sky is a cruel punishment for the slightest carelessness. But therein lies the charm: every failure becomes a lesson, and every victory, an immense personal triumph.

In this timeless world, you are a wandering soul, a shadow seeking light amidst the darkness. The NPCs speak in riddles, reflecting the complexity and mystery of the universe in which you move. Each boss is a test of patience and strategy; defeating them means not only progressing through the game, but also surpassing your own limits.

You are not alone on this journey. Dark Souls III has created a unique community, where help and advice are cornerstones of the experience. The ghosts of other players become silent companions or challenging rivals, and the blood signs remind us that we all share this path of challenges.

In combat, strategy reigns supreme. It's not about relentless attacking, but about learning to defend, to dodge, to know the precise moment to strike or retreat. Every soul you earn is a reflection of your growth and your ability to adapt.

Dark Souls III not only culminates the trilogy with unparalleled mastery, but also redefines what it means to play online. The integration of multiplayer functionality further enriches the experience, offering a world where every interaction has meaning.

For those already familiar with this universe, and for newcomers alike, Dark Souls III is an unmissable masterpiece. It's Miyazaki's Ferrari, a game that not only challenges but also rewards those who dare to take it on.

So, if you haven't yet embarked on this journey, I invite you to immerse yourself in it. It won't be easy, but like everything worthwhile in life, it's worth every effort and every tear. In the world of Dark Souls III, you'll discover that beyond the pain and darkness, there's an unexpected beauty waiting to be found.

The end of an era goodbye to Overwatch

Overwatch has been a game that was constantly changing, from power-ups to nerfs with new heroes and maps.

Finding a group of humans that were compatible was almost impossible but that for me was the most fun.

In 2019 Overwatch 2 was announced and it was all crazy with delays, stories, and administrative chaos at Blizzard.

But after all this, here we are... And even though I've already played the beta, I reserve my opinions on Overwatch 2 for the following publication.

Those of you who follow me know that Bastion is my favourite character and I know very well that not everyone shares this point of view.

After I have played 4213 games, with a used time of 525 hours I reached silver level 56, of those 525 hours, I played 385 as Bastion.

The amount of memories I have is immense, from the most ridiculous deaths to the most impressive feats (these last ones happened little) the hours spent with friends and in lan centre playing, ordering pizzas or ramen, drinking all kinds of energy drinks to give the 100%, great moments...

Season 13 and 14 was the only one in which I decided to go competitive and give it my all, it took a lot of time but I managed to rank silver in the division.

Here are some screenshots of my profile, as proof that I was there.

My favourite quote is:

Never accept the world as it appears to be, dare to see it for what it could be.

One of my favourite maps was Horizon, I find the idea that there is a permanent presence on the Moon for research fascinating.

Even when the taste disappoints me, I loved being able to buy Lucio's cereals

The album of 11 music songs by Lúcio was not bad at all and yes you could download it for free.

I hope to see you all in Overwatch 2
