It’s an amazing game it’s a not as punishing as it seems to be from other reviewers that don’t really play FFROM SOFTWARE souls games like Demon Souls, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 1,2 & 3, & Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
It is nowhere near as hard & punishing as those games but on that note it still feels very much like a souls game with combat, elusive NPC encounters, lore & the complete immersion that the souls games provides…it is definitely worth buying a copy…& yes it is a Get Good style of game & it’s very satisfying when you do!
