Every single thing people say about this game is true. I didn't believe it either.

The 'classic' control method that lets you cancel out of your attacks makes a rather middling Souls-inspired game a lot more palatable. It does get long in the tooth later on when it brings back the Zelda-style puzzles from the first two games, though.

If you cut like two hours of the Land Of The Dead segment of the game it'd get another half star minimum. There's only so many times a man can be told to go get three plot coupons to advance before it strains on the mind.
