[Japanese version reviewed]
The game feels unnecessarily difficult, which I know is kinda FromSoft's thing, but the combat just isn't enjoyable at all.
First-person melee is tricky because it becomes so hard to judge reach. Moreover, there's no crosshair of any kind, so you end up wasting precious MP when spells miss.
The large interconnected map is incredible and easily the most interesting aspect of the game, but you're in for some annoying backtracking, and the key/gate warp mechanic is a nuisance.
I admire them for trying to do everything in 3D, but the frame rate is really, really bad, dipping into single digits in the outdoor areas or when a lot of enemies are around.
