I got this game on a whim after hearing the first major boss theme and it's honestly well worth the time I put into it. The gameplay, while it took me a bit to get used to as this was my first souls-like game, eventually felt really smooth. Progression felt fairly natural throughout the game and the level design and difficult enemy placement would consistently encourage me to go along a path to the next objective.
The bosses were fun to fight for the most part, each having well telegraphed attacks that, if you didn't learn how to deal with them, would heavily punish you for your mistakes. The only one I would say wasn't great would be the Metal Armor fight.
The OST, while not mind-blowing, served well to enhance the atmosphere of each area and fight. A few themes do stand out, such as CIT and the Matriarch fight.
While it may be well out of my comfort zone in terms of gameplay, I had a lot of fun.
