One of my favorites of all time but it doesn't quite hold a candle to later Fromsoft titles for it's slower and (in my opinion) kind of sluggish pace
Exploring Lordran feels great, there's so many layers to peel away at as you descend further
The combat is very slow paced but it's a good baseline for what was to come later out of Fromsoft (which I know is discrediting Demon's Souls but I haven't played that game)
There's a lot of hiding behind a shield, which isn't very exciting, but it feels more strategic than most temporary action RPGs
