I acknowledge this game is a masterpiece, but unfortunately it just didn't click with me in the same way From Software's other titles have. The setting didn't jive, the lore didn't grab me, and the requirement for perfection during some boss fights created more frustration than anything else.
With that being said, however, the game makes you feel like a god when you pull off a well-thought through plan, and slinging around the place like motherf***ing ninja was a joy. Killing that giant white snake was also one the greatest moments in any From Software title, and the Guardian Ape is an S Tier fight.
A classic case of "it's not you, it's me" with this one.
