First of all, for the sake of transparency, I have to say I played this game for the first time in 2020 and after Darks Souls III.
I started playing FromSoft games with Bloodborne and loved the combat, so of course, I wanted more. And both this game and Dark Souls III didn't dissapoint at all. It's slower and require better timing but it's still amazing and satisfying nonetheless. Everything in this game feels polished and taken care of with passion form the devs.
The interconnected world is also a huge joy to explore, get lost in and find your way back to where you came from. It just fits the narrative and tone of the game perfectly.
I loved all of that, but the gotta say, this game has the weakest boss fights among all the other FromSoft games I've played (Dks, Dks3, Bb and Sekiro). There are some great ones, don't get me wrong, Artorias, Manus and, of course, Ornstein and Smoug are some of the finest of the series but the rest of the bunch are either laughably easy or gimmicky as hell, I want to have an interesting 1v1 fair fight with whatever the game throws at me but instead I have to run around trying to find a way to damage the thing.
(On a side note, there is a special place in hell for whoever decided that the Bed of Chaos was a good idea.)
Overall, it is an amazing game and experiece that everyone should play. The bosses detail, for what I've debated with other people, is kinda of a hot take, I guess it just boils down to taste.
