I finally beat this game after shelving it for like a year. I was SO close to the end so I had to relearn the skills and gameplay to beat like 4 more main bosses. Why do I always do that?!
Anyway this game is awesome. It's meant to be infuriating but I never felt like I was cheated. I think the open world aspect helps with that. The game is so pretty despite it's horrifying monster designs. It's probably the best looking game I've ever played technically speaking, and the world has lore and history baked into it's soul. The only complaint I have is that this game punishes you a bit for trying out new weapons, especially in the late game. Other than that it's perfection!
