(Attempted to play on PS5) Would love to leave a more positive review because i'm a hardcore fromsoft fan. What I cant lie through my teeth about, is how disappointed i am by this entry and the state in which it launched. If your NAT isnt 1 then dont both buying the game, i found it impossible to find a game at all after a near 2 hours search. They've acknowledged the problem on X with advice ranging from "change your NAT type" (which requires port forwarding which not all modems can do) to "start matchmaking again" neither of which helps fix the issue. Every other game i play that is online has 0 issues with my NAT type, disappointing to see the cracks in fromsofts delivery here. Ive officially refunded and id recommend holding off until they've released an update that actually fixes matchmaking.

Story 11/10 Graphics 11/10 Combat 11/10 This game is a masterpiece, it’s everything final fantasy wishes it could be. I’ve never been one for JRPG’s I could count on both hands the amount of final fantasy games I’ve started and abandoned, but I was hooked from the minute go with expedition 33. This is my game of the year for absolute certain. If you’ve not found this genre of game enticing before, I promise this will be the change.

This dlc stands alone at the pinnacle of post release content. At near 70 hours of content I hesitate to call it a dlc at all, it’s a games worth of content it’d be a fair call to say it’s a game in its own right. I don’t understand people complaining that they can’t one shot or that the damage is too high, there’s an easy to understand system in place to help make it more manageable without taking away from the intensity. It is supposed to be hard, it wouldn’t really be fromsoft if it wasn’t.

Not the worst thing ive ever watched but far from being good. If you love watching important scenes get skipped, characters get changed for 0 reason & actors stumble over goofy writing then this is the show for you. So so much cringe packed into just 8 episodes.
