A perfect send off to the DS series, and one of the best action games ever. So many banger boss fights in this one, especially in the DLC and the fights are beautifully cinematic as they are fun to play. The story and lore was great as well, does it do a lot of DS1 callbacks? Yes but I freaking love DS1 so who cares! Also the soundtrack in this game is one of the best things I've heard in my life, everything from the grand and epic battle songs (Soul of Cinder, the princes theme, etc.) to even the ambient music of the shrine were all so beautiful. Only complaint was that the world wasn't as interesting to explore and the areas could be kind of bland, but the amazing bosses at the end of them made up for that most of the time for me.
