WAY YOO HARD FOR A CASUAL PLAYER
Trust me, this game is ridiculously hard. It needs to state it as a warning before you purchase.
After 12 hours of gameplay, I cannot get past the first part of the game. There is basically no guidance or logic to the layout of the open world map in relation to where you first start.
Even veteran Dark Souls players are struggling and asking for refunds.
There are also issues with frame drops and the controls do not always register, which gets you killed because enemies deal insane damage and they stack attacks really easily because their weapons are ranged more than you can dodge.
I am already anticipating the 'get good' comments, however, read through some threads on Reddit and even that community is in solidarity regarding the difficulty of this game.
I have requested a refund through CDKeys - which I will doubtfully get. The purpose of this review is to hopefully make people aware of the insane difficulty and perhaps prompt a bit more research into the game before you purchase; something I wish I had of done!!!
The game is beautiful in terms of fiction, graphics and lore.. but it is inaccessible to me as a casual gamer. I haven't got a spare 10 hours to farm kill goats to level up.
