Most of the negative aspects i see are that itโs multiplayer. If youโre expecting the style of a usual souls-like, this is not the game for you.
Despite the multiplayer aspects the mechanics are fully fleshed out. The game is exhilarating to play and even though iโve only played it for a day it allows for a lot of pve fun. Get a couple friends and hop into a game, youโll die a lot (wow dying in a souls-like). From Software lied, there is lore in the game itโs just not as heavy as usual souls games.
Oh no, thereโs no voice chat. Just get discord and hop in a call with friends. Thereโll be many epic moments of โoh no, weโre too underleveled for this enemyโ and you move on to an easier boss to grind because speed is the game.
I was fully aware of the type of game itโd be and it fully delivered and exceeded my hype unlike other big games that have had a lot of hype and didnโt make the hype.
In conclusion, itโs not Elden Ring 2. Itโs a multiplayer pve experience and the best multiplayer FromSoftware have ever integrated. If you donโt have friends there is a harder solo mode for you, although enemies are designed for multiplayer however itโs more like seamless coop multiplayer.
10/10 lived up to the hype
