This game is humble like the other FromSoftWare games I've played but it's probably my least favorite out of the others. The areas are peak to explore and are expertly designed, the aesthetic and atmosphere is awesome and the boss fights are solid. I call them solid because I'm not really a fan of beast fights compared to humanoid fights because the camera can be a hinderance sometimes and some attacks are "hard to see" because beast bosses tend to just spam out hitboxes a lot and thrash about. They were fine but I definitely prefer the fights like Ghermen or Gascoignes first phase. And the biggest problem with this game is the healing mechanic. It sucks. I spent 1/4 of my 20 hour playtime grinding for blood vials. Thats bad. I've never grinded in any FromSoft game before but this game punishes you for dying and retrying on bosses by dwindling your bullets and blood vials. It's a dumb decision and I'm glad they went back to Estus after this game. Punishing you for retrying bosses literally goes against FromSoftWares philosophy, it's why the hollow mechanic from DS2 is stupid aswell but at least you have the ring of binding to make that not a problem. If this game ever got rereleased I hope they fix the healing system because if they did I'd enjoy it way more. As it is I still had a great time though.
