Solid af.
Loved the world and how everything would lead back to the main area, Firelink shrine. Everything is interconnected beautifully. The Firelink shrine theme is also a banger and got me feeling stuff I don't even know how to explain. It was just so cathartic beating a chore of a boss then limping back to firelink and hearing that relaxing music while spending my hard earned souls.
I didn't find the game difficult but the hardest part was without a doubt the Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough boss fight. I must have spent an hour dying but I was slowly improving. By the time I was getting the hand of it, the boss glitched out of the screen and died instantly I still have no idea what happened. This was the only glitch I ever experienced in the whole game which I found funny.
The DLC, also solid, it had great boss fights that were fair and basically skill checks, none of them felt as impossible as Ornstein and Smough. Artorias is probably one of the best bosses I've fought in a video game, I knew where to improve every time I died and had his move set down to a study. Incredibly satisfying when I took him down.
One complain is that the game doesn't hold your hand whatsoever in terms of where you need to go, I had to pull up a guide a few times to show me where to go next according to my level. You can do that or either go to an area under leveled to die 20 times and figure out this isn't actually the place you're supposed to go to yet. Plus the paths you are supposed to go to are so well blended in the not so good graphics that I doubt I would have even been able to find them on my own.
This game was just a bit harder than Demon Souls (the only other Soulsborne I've played) but nothing rage worthy. Would love to play this again
