It's an ok game. I'm still new to the souls like games. Have played elden ring, remnant 2 and lies of p. This one sits at the bottom. I was expecting more from this game. First things first. Don't understand why you would name the game the same as the first one. When you try to look stuff up it could get a little confusing by the time I've finished reading and realized that I'm reading about the first game from 2014 I'm just annoyed after. The first play thru wasn't even hard. I died more to the level design then the actual fighting. I feel like this game is designed more to be annoying than fun. For example when you go to new game plus they have removed the checkpoints which are called vestiges in this game. Most people playing this don't have time for that. You think I want to run back and forth on the same maps over and over and over again. Stupid idea. If I wanted to play like that, I would just play like that. To me, this just feels like laziness. And the last two bosses not including the secret final boss are a joke. Seriously!? Lol. One of the easiest games I've ever played. What I do like about the game is the weapons and armor all the cool stuff you can find in the world or obtain from bosses. The co-op is really good too. Seamless. That's about it tho. More annoying than fun. Not worth full price. I got lies of p for free on game pass and it blows this game into space. Take some notes devs. How about for new game plus you give us more slots so maybe we can use magic and throwables without having to go into the menu. Also bring back the vestiges. Game constantly crashes as well. Game is just annoying...
