So the game was fun, but it also drove me up the wall in some places.

Positives:
- World
- Music
- Characters
- The story is very well told
- Many utilities in combat
- Quest guidance
- Atmosphere
- Stargaizers are fairly placed
- Before each boss fight, you can summon an NPC to help you (and I probably wouldn't have played through the game without it)

Neutral:
- Combat system (I'm not really a fan of parrying, but in this game you're forced to do it and it works more or less well)

Negative:
- Some mini-bosses are way too strong
- Most bosses have a second phase (I hate it)
- Your special attacks can be interrupted
- Some enemies have an infinite attack spam where you can hardly find a gap to launch a counterattack

I think that's most of the points. The game is a good Soulslike, but it's not a masterpiece. At some point I'll start a NG+ to catch up on the missing trophies, but for now I'm done.
