Enjoyable experience if willing to put in the hours. On first run I was too focused on leveling up and spent a lot of time in rune farming locations instead of just enjoying the game normally, which led to me having a mixed review by the end. On second run however, I decided to play the game normally and found myself enjoying it a lot more, taking in the scenery and enjoying the process of learning how to defeat each enemy. That said, perhaps it is skill issue on my part, but the final boss and Malenia are some of the least enjoyable boss fights I have had in a while. Malenia healing through even shields makes the experience more tedious than satisfying and I swear it was intended for Torrent to be used in the final fight. A great experience overall.
