This game was fantastic. When reading negitive reviews about this i couldnt believe how far off they were from the true focus of what mattered. The game had an amazing back story that set up the plot of the game perfectly. The fighting mechanics were super diverse,reminding me a lot of dark souls. But the different weapons and blood veils (your clothing weapon) made it fun to try out new set ups. The bosses were challenging, the story was heart wrenching, the game play was fun, and the npc companions were super useful in fights. Over all one of my favorite games this year.
