I’ve never played any of the “Souls” games. But honestly, I absolutely love this game. The fighting system sparkles, environments are immersive and perfectly rendered. In my opinion, it’s amazing. I’m currently on my 3rd playthrough and I’m still enjoying every minute of it. At first, I had some doubts about the difficulty but believe me when I tell you, once you get the hang of it, it’s incredible. Also, there’s a great deal of diversity with the mini-bosses, bosses, and endings. If I had to make a complaint, it would be the camera. Because this game demands near perfection, the camera should’ve been designed a bit better, especially when you’re fighting main bosses. However, I really don’t think it detracts from the overall experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone looking for a challenging, awesome thrill ride. 10/10!!
