poorly balanced, boring fights that try to impress with spectacle instead of satisfying movesets, terrible end-game, sequence breaking does not feel special at all when the game almost makes an effort for you to sequence break.

everything that gets in your path is easily avoidable, on your horse you can jump and run past every enemy, on foot the level is not designed to place enemies in a way that blocks your path, making running past everything a very unengaging experience, even when on foot.

horse combat is often optimal but very boring.

Less replay value than FromSoft games usually have.

3/10 for the whole, 6/10 for the early game
