Probably one of the best Soulslikes I’ve ever played. It borrows HEAVILY from From’s work, probably more than any other Soulslike I’ve ever played, but that’s probably why it’s so good and honestly, aside from one egregious example at the end of the game where it feels like a boss was lifted straight out of Bloodborne: The Old Hunters, it generally manages to put its own spin on things while also sticking closely to what has been proven to work. It’s absolutely gorgeous, plays like a dream, and has wonderful music. It’s definitely not perfect, though. The level design is good overall but there are a couple of meh/bad areas (Venigni Works, Barren Swamp and Relic of Trismegistus come to mind) and the obsession with two-phase boss fights got old very, very quickly. Still, it’s an incredibly strong debut game from the team and I genuinely cannot wait to see what they do next.
