This game is SO GOOD.
It was advertised to me as a Zelda-like first and a souls-like second. The mechanics that remind me of both are actually on the lighter side, but I think if you like these two types of games, you will love this.
It has dungeons, but the puzzles are less mentally intensive than the average Zelda-like experience, generally being "Use the new spell you learned on the in-game asset that it relates to."
It also has challenging, dodge-roll based swordplay combat, but it's far less complex and unforgiving as a souls game. (PS, that's what I love about it.)
The story is so interesting and the themes it conveys are deep and meaningful. The bosses are unique and challenging, but definitely surmountable. All the characters are multidimensional and it's a treat each time you meet a new one. And the soundtrack is beautiful. Strong rec on all fronts.
