The hype was so high for this game before it released. I knew it would be good, based on the track record of FromSoftware, and judging from the extended gameplay clips and footage released from the devs. This may be the first time that a game has obliterated my expectations. To say this is a refined Dark Souls experience is an understatement. This feels like the game they always wanted to make, but couldn't fully realize it with the tech of the past. I can't believe how big and dense the map is. There are enemies or secrets hidden in almost every inch. The graphics might not be the most cutting edge, but the stylized look will keep this game relevant for a very long time. The combat feels great, and the different character builds can keep things feeling fresh. As much as people have been "requesting" an easy mode, I actually feel like this is one of the easier souls games. Maybe that's because Sekiro was so brutal and required a crazy amount of focus from me to complete. All in all, this game is nothing short of a masterpiece, and will be talked about for many years to come.
