Nice environment and gameplay, with vast options and builds, but not for casual players who want to play and enjoy the story (GOW, AC, Witcher, etc.). It's more like a project to deal with, killing almost everything just to become an elder lord with a near-zero storyline and cutscenes. Not enough info is given in the game, so you have to search and find out what to do, otherwise, you won't be able to finish the game. Your first game through could be a nightmare, especially if you are new to souls games. Absolutely not for everyone... Personally, I have a full-time job and if I wanted to do research or spend hours to figure out how to build my character to defeat an enemy, I would prefer to do something more meaning full, instead of using my laptop while I'm playing the game grinding my each and every step. They could at least give some more information on the items, armor, etc. Even dialogues are encrypted and vague... It's for someone who does not have anything else to do, except spend hours and hours on this game...
