Possibly my worst opinion but I just think this is FromSoft's weakest. I dunno if it's because I was a huge Demon's Souls fan, or if I truly dislike everything before Anor Londo, but I had to start this one like three times to actually see it through. I had no such issues with 2 or 3, so I really have no idea.

Several NG+ runs did not change my mind, but perhaps I have a clearer idea of this game nowadays, maybe it's begging for a replay...
