Imported from my Backloggery:
Despite having a great final boss (that granted may have too many fake out deaths) and some awesome lore, I didn't love Ashes of Ariandel as much as the rest of the game. The area leading up to the boss didn't really feel like an engaging area as much as a funnel to the boss fight with a few enemies. The enemies made an extremely loud sound that just got grating after a while, and enemy placements felt needlessly spammy and annoying. Still Souls though!
