To think, we have a 5 star game here, and we still have more to come shortly, holy fucking shit! Considered the magnum opus of FromSoftwares projects, to which I agree, this game delivers a stunningly beautiful open world game full of endless possibilities. The freedom from the get-go after the patented FS tutorial death is absolutely fantastic. You can go straight after the main bosses, explore the full region or even wander into areas scaled for much later in the game and give that a try for some neat loot! A new crafting system where you can craft some items with great utility in areas or boss fights. Lots of freedom as well on what to craft and these items may even add to your build! An astounding roster of bosses, some of the best FS have ever produced, with very deep and complex movesets and combinations. With extra features such as jumping and positioning being very important in this game, you've even more possibilities of places to explore and movesets of bosses to see. Build variety is absolutely insane and it even rivals Dark souls 2 in weapon variety and viability. You could do multiple runs and not repeat builds. That's how many builds you can do for this game!!

Now, for my personal feelings, oh boy do I love this game. To the extent that I've behaved almost like a spoiled brat waiting for the release of the DLC of this game. I just am eagerly anticipating what's to come based on how I feel about the base game. Bosses have been so much fun in this game, I'm screaming for a boss rush mode just so I can fight them over and over again and rest assured I would do that!

I'm sure I'll update this after the DLC but it's one of the greatest games of all time, objectively and subjectively tbh!
