My first traditional soulslike (if we're talking in general, first one was Deepwoken) and good lord it is GOOD good. I love just about everything this game has to offer.

The combat itself is super fun and fluid, also letting you get REALLY creative with how you run builds. The bosses are great, with some extremely unique designs and attacks. (Also, get hit by a Red attack every now and then. You won't regret it.)

The story isn't that crazy, but the writing makes up for it in spades. I have felt maybe every emotion except extreme sadness. The game doesn't take itself super seriously, and it makes for some extremely funny ass lines. Even the ENDING has a punchline that's been getting set up the entire game. It's also a 3D platformer, and it feels GOOD to move around into. That's all you need, really.

I have nothing but praise for this game, and you should 100% BUY IT NOW. Except that one part near the end with the big laser beam crabs. Fuck that area. I hated it.
