Holy shit, what a game. I went in to this expecting to sink 40 hours into it or something, but I felt satisfied enough to complete it after no less than 63 hours. In that time, I completed almost everything there is to complete + the DLC. And I had such a blast that it's not even funny! The gameplay is some of the most satisfying I've ever played. It has such a good progression system where you actually have to fail to advance. I loved the interconnected world, and every time I found a major shortcut, I was just thinking: "this game is fucking genius". And the bosses are some of the most satisfying bosses I've ever met, my favourites being the Four Kings, Gwyn, Artorias and Manus. I didn't really like the fight against Ornstein and Smough, but defeating them was one of the most satisfying moments I've ever experienced in a video game! Can't praise this game enough, it's a bloody masterpiece!
