It has similar game mechanics obviously but is definitely worth playing. I think it's probably the better game but that could be the influence of coming to it cold originally and being scared shitless as I played it. The atmosphere of it is fantastic. There's a limit on how much you can carry, as well as an equip burden, which affects strategy a fair bit, plus the game is split into discrete areas with individual stages (that can be replayed over and over even after the boss dies) that you warp to from a central safe area, rather than a continuous map as in Dark Souls.
