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 truly makes you feel incredible when you pull off a well-thought through plan, and slinging around the placing like motherf***ing ninja was a joy. Killing that giant white snake was also one the greatest moments in any From Software title.
A classic case of "it's not you, it's me" with this one.
