The most overrated Soulsborne game, maybe even the most overrated game of all time.

Bosses suck doo doo. The only good base game ones are Father Gascoigne and Mergo’s Wet Nurse. The boss roster is heavily carried by the DLC.

The areas are also just eh. The level design isn’t much to speak about and the only notable ones for me are Byrgenworth and Central Yharnam. Rest is either bad or mid.

And one of the praises i hear it gets the most is its atmosphere, which is cool, for like 3 hours. After that it’s the same drab “Dark scary place with blood and nightmare and blood and beast and nightmare”, it’s just so tiring after Central Yharnam.

Trick weapons are a good idea that are poorly implemented, since you’re only going to use one mode of the weapon over the other unless you force yourself to use the other because you never use it.

Also if the way to get the best gear is by doing Chalice Dungeons i would rather not. Because they suck ass. Like the rest of the game.

It's overrated because everyone talks about it like it's the best game ever. It's not. Not even the best Fromsoft game.

None of the bosses are good except a handful, most of which are from the DLC, it's lacking QoL stuff, THAT WERE IN DS2, like respeccing. Areas aren't anything special, chalice dungeons are horrible, trick weapons is a cool mechanic but badly implemented because you only use on of the two modes anyway.
