I'm disappointed that I didn't like this as much as everyone else seems to.
Coming off of Dark Souls Remastered, I was immediately put off by how same-y the starting areas of the game are, and I wasted a lot of time confused. Not with the combat system or blood vial mechanics, those are intuitive albeit streamlined more than DS1 in a way I dislike, but with the agonizing level design. I hear people say it gets better as Yharnam opens up more, but I wasn't enjoying exploring with no real objective.
I also dislike the hub world, as I do in most open world/open level games.
Satisfying combat as other Fromsoft titles I've played, but I personally liked the depth and "character sheet" of DS1 so the simplification of mechanics is a downside for me.
