Really really incredible game. Deep commitment to what could have otherwise been a vague and even humorous setting. Unique weapons, systems, and satisfying progression, all drawn together by intensely difficult, fast paced boss fights. Many of the areas surrounding those bosses leave something to be desired, but they’re more than enough to get the job done.

After nearly a decade of the “soulslike” genre falling short of their inspiration, this seems to be the first game to finally crack From Software’s secret formula. It’s fitting too, that it seems to be the closest thing we’ll ever get to a rerelease or sequel to Bloodborne. It’s a wonderful game, tied together by its content, graphics, setting, and soundtrack. And most importantly of all, it’s hot twink MC.
