This book does an amazing job of capturing the ahem soul of the video game and bringing it into a playable and understandable format for tabletop. Basing the system in 5e makes the game accessible to millions of players already familiar with the system. Dark Souls the Roleplaying Game also adds interesting new mechanics and concepts that are easy to integrate and are simple to take to other settings to add some gritty alternatives.

Definitely fun on its own and super useful for players looking for interesting, and sometimes brutal, options.
