I just read a comment on reddit that captures this perfectly, and i'll quote it here:

MrTheodore

Picks up ancient bicycle shorts

"These compression shorts belonged to Gwyn, who cycled around his kingdom after he created Lordran which is the afterlife and the crow that takes you there is the representation of death. See the ancient tank top for more cool Lordran facts"

Fascinating

That is disturbingly close to being accurate. And that's kind of the lesson here- soulsborne games are of a different genre. The atmosphere, the music, the fog, the weird art and enemies are so god damn evocative that i'll forgive most of the nonsense. It's art. The zones are absolutely beautiful and I cannot stress how cool it is when they fit together perfectly like a rube goldberg contraption. The macabre, mystical art direction and the fascination with western fantasy through an eastern lens is truly unique.

The segment of the game between 80% and 95% is bare bones and rushed. That's rough, but by that point you're in too deep to quit. Stockholm Syndrome.

I haven't even mentioned the multiplayer, but the co-op is cool, and the non-consensual invader pvp is brutal to new players. I'm so glad this art game exists.

*hipsters will say Demon's Souls started the train, but some parts were absolutely invented here

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
