I tried playing this with a friend for 3+ hours and pretty much had a bad experience. We spent a lot of time loading - and being forced to sleep because it would get dark - which meant more loading. Then we kept losing our backpacks when we died. Spent forever trying to figure out how to get back to the lost backpacks. The combat is bad - the world is bland and its not worth the time in my opinion. I’ve played through all the dark souls and have no issues with difficult fights - but the amount of time it takes to do anything in this game just isn’t worth it. There is no reward. Buyers beware.
