I'm probably never going to play another soulslike ever again.

I bought and played LotF23 with the expectation that this is going to be mediocre or okay at best. I was surprised though. I think the level design and incorporation of the Umbral is very good and the bosses kicked ass. The world was beautiful too. Personally I think this game out does Dark Souls 1. In the 2 weeks I played this game, it got so many updates that one day I was complaining about something to myself and that same day it was fixed. It will be interesting to revisit this game in a couple of years.

The bad and ugly is that weapon tracking can be ass some times as well as hit/hurtboxes. On one enemy my grand axe swings completely whiffed but their attack that was 5 feet away from me hit me dead on. This game also lacks enemy variety so if there is something that annoys you, you will be seeing it often and it might even 2 shot you late game. This game's performance is atrocious too, I miss when gaming was heading towards a 144fps future.

I am for sure burnt out on soulslikes, I'm glad it ended on a high note.
