I picked up this little gem for my ps3 yesterday and let me tell you...wow

A very potent dungeon crawl that is relentless and hard as hell. First time in ages has a game besides FL had me peeking around virtual cornors and hesitantly prowling to avoid an untimly death.

When you die you lose eveyrthing you have gained except for whatever petty items you hold. All the souls you manage to amass gone in a blink. When you do manage to get a living body, other people can appear in your realm and pvp you in the back.

A must for hardcore FL players imo.

i beat it recently, and really like the ending (luckily there's a new game+). there are so many hidden details that really flesh out the story. the sixth archstone, for instance. it is never explained what happened to it, its just there, in ruins. it leaves you to form your own theories based off details gathered from the game environments and the characters, nothing ever bluntly told to you.

and yeah the sense of danger never really leaves you, especially fighting the bosses. you are only ever one hit or misstep away from dying. especially when another player comes into your world while you're halfway through it. he has to track you down in a giant level.... do you hunt him down first? set up an ambush and wait? try and rush towards the boss and run from him? its pretty similar to PK in the mud. especially given the concealment effects from different rings and spells, so you can never be too sure he isn't standing just behind you...
