This is one of the best FromSoftware games I’ve played but some elements feel gimmicky while others feel tired. The horse feels like an unnecessary feature to skip difficult areas and makes the open world enemies almost trivial. I wish they would have retired the invasion feature. The co op is the most fun of the FromSoftware lineup but it’s spoiled by the amount of pvp invasions wasting everyone’s time. This game would have received 5 stars if co op could restrict unwanted pvp. An arena for people who enjoy pvp would be an improvement over forcing it on players who just want to play with friends.
