This is the Dark Souls formula perfected.

I literally don't understand why so many Souls fans dislike this. As someone who sucks at these games, this game is nowhere near as hard or frustrating as Elden Ring, which I never see people complain about.

The vast majority of bosses feel completely fair and well telegraphed, the visuals and music are stellar and over-all this game just has a really cool vibe.

Also bonus points for achieving a male protagonist who is both adorable and extremely cool. Cute guys in western media are practically non-existent for some reason. Praying the sequel will also let us play as a badass twink.

For your last point I think the devs being Korean definitely helps, as young Korean men in media are a lot more feminine for Western standards.
