This is a pretty interesting experience for me.
The first time I played Dark Souls it was after release and the online community had already died down a bit. That meant that I had to solo a lot of bosses whether I wanted to or not. So you Git Gud.
Now though, I'm already Gud so I always have plenty of humanity knocking around and there are a lot of helpful bods who want to jump in and smash bosses. So Ornstein and Smough went down quickly and easily.
I remember broadly what I'm doing and where I'm going (except for the DLC which I never played) so the experience becomes less stressful and more cathartic. There are bits I won't bother with until NG+ or beyond but its a long haul, not a short flight this one.
Still a great game in 2018 and one you can lose plenty of happy hours to.
