Replayed after 5 years and now having played the rest of the souls lineup. The highs in boss design and gameplay feel are quite high, but frankly it’s just the least interesting world From has shipped a game with in the modern era. The most interesting area is tucked away in the DLC, but the hub and connectivity has just never been this mediocre.

It’s a souls game and I love it, but I think it’s just not at the level of the better games in the lineage
