This review contains spoilers

Story;
Makes no sense, characters don't care to explain to you how things work or where to go, just "Go and Become Elden Lord!" any game where you have to watch a story/lore video after the ending has failed in that department.

Gameplay;
It's Basically Dark Souls 4, so expect to die... ALOT. Not because the game is hard but because the combat system is slow and inconsistent, enimes can cancel their attack animations mid attack making their attacks random and unreadable. While you have to wait for your slow as shit attack animation to play out before you can dodge or parry.


Pros;
+Art design is beautiful, areas are like paintings .

+Music and sound design is epic especially the main theme

+lots of different weapons and spells to accommodate any playstyle


Cons;
- Some enimes are way too fast and deal too much damage even if your at a higher level.

- Quest system is dogshit, for example someone will ask you to deliver something but won't tell you where to. Aslo without any warning you can get locked out of quests by progressing the game. Why?

-Fuck Malenia

-Fuck Maliketh


Overall it's definitely worth a play but If your hesitant on soulslike games I would recommend Dark Souls 1 to start with, it's much more linear and to the point.
