This is the pinnacle of from's souls series design. It is very different than the titles that came before it but it's spirit remains the same. Is it punishing? Yes, but as always it is fair and the game wants you to succeed. This time around combat is much quicker and fluid. If the previous soul games are kin to chess then this is speed chess with a built in grappling hook for when you need to take a breather. This will bring many more fans into the From Software fold and that makes me very excited. Yes some will get frustrated and claim it to be the worst game ever. Those people are just not in the right place for this game. They are too casual to dedicate the required attention this game demands. There is nothing wrong with that. We have hardcore games and we have hyper casual games. This is obviously the first kind.
