Good game, not great. Lots of problems with gameplay in game mechanics menu options, upgrading materials and farming are fundamental problems. Maps are WORTHLESS. Graphics are beautiful. Sound/audio is great! I'm glad I didn't buy this game when it came out, rather a year later. I played with a walkthrough because if I didn't I wouldn't have found half the items offered. You need over a million vigor to level up decently? The whole losing your vigor if you don't pick it up is just silly. The run speed and fighting movements are WONDERFUL! Thanks Devs. I'm not a Souls-like fan but I have played the 2014 and now the 2023 versions and they are both FUN and they have made lots of improvements.
