This is my first Souls (I played souls-like before anyway) and I enjoyed it so much. Despite I was most of the time lost because the game don't explain exactly what to do I have a great time with it. Personally I think that is something good, a open world should let you explore freely and make you know which zones are to early to get into. Also I liked the lore of the game and I am willing to replay it again to this timedefeat all bosses.
