Bad PC port. You should be able to change the resolution in-game. I noticed framerate drops on my PC well above the recommended system requirements. The graphics are poor for 8th-gen standards.
I hate the default controls. They don't feel natural at all. The lack of maps in Dark Souls never bothered me because the level design was good enough that I was able to navigate without one. That's not the case here.
I dislike healing items coming from enemy drops and chests. The estus flask system is perfect for this type of game. I don't understand why this and Bloodborne had to fuck it up by making you grind for healing items every time you die. It's torture and punishes you for taking risks. It sounds like there's something closer to Estus later on, but in the first area, I only got limited consumables. Wouldn't the tutorial area benefit the most from not forcing you to grind for healing items if you don't win in the first few tries?
The starting boss (and most enemies) can kill you in two hits and it's really annoying. I don't recall that being the case with the early bosses/enemies in Dark Souls. That had a more gradual/fair difficulty curve to ease you into the experience. Inb4 skill issue.
The loot system also sucks. I got lots of duplicate weapons and armor from chests, which made exploration feel unsatisfying. You should only be getting duplicate equipment from enemies.
The graphics are noticeably bad. From Software's games are disappointing on a technical level, but they have strong art direction to help make up for it. This looks worse than their games in both ways. There are 7th-generation games that are much more impressive visually.
It's a worse version of Dark Souls.
