i didnt really like this as much as it was hyped up to be. so many annoyances amounted to one of the most sour gaming experiences i've had. i enjoyed the gameplay loop enough to finish the game but animals having too much stunlock, enemies being alerted with a suppressed sniper/bow despite them being alone, and the far too frequent random events really hampered the overall experience

nonsensical mission objectives and some of the worst traffic ai with overly aggressive gang members makes this one of the worst gta games for plain free roaming (not like theres much to do outside of the story anyway)

fun

a game with a great story, setting, and soundtrack that is unfortunately plagued by the usual old game jankiness that leads to unnecessary frustations

undoubtedly the hardest game ive ever played

a great blend of mindless gameplay with podcast/music playing in the background and an immersive story

while the story isnt as great as the beloved bl2 it still provides charming side characters, fun side missions, and gameplay that is actually the best in the series

the quality of life changes really make this feel superior than FromSoftware titles paired with the satisfying but punishing combat and memorable bosses puts this leagues above the rest in non-FromSoftware souls games

the ui doesnt really hold up but with that gripe aside it holds some of the best bosses in the entire souls franchise

if youre going for every boss/dungeon/cave etc. please pace yourself because you will feel heavy fatigue towards the final couple sections of the game. other than that, just another banger from FromSoftware

just an absolutely incredible dlc that delivers everything you can expect and more on top of an already near perfect game

an adequate return to roots stealth that has been sorely missed with horrible combat and subpar story
