It's in an open, post-apocalyptic setting, but it doesn't encourage you to explore. It also doesn't aspire to get past brownish-orange in its art direction. It's save system is exactly like Fallout's, in the sense that it only saves when you enter a settlement or exit back into the wasteland.

Dark Souls' documented difficulty has assured players of a less masochistic will run screaming from its path. The game is certainly not for everyone. It has a punishing nature that you either can, or you cannot handle. Most cannot.
