What a fucking game. I went through so many emotions with this game, and even through all the frustration and confusion it was such a good experience. It has to be said that the checkpoint system in this game is brutal and sucks ass (namely the very last one), everything else is patience and memory. For the love of god, be patient. Pushing through an area after taking your time feels so good. If you like the Souls games, you gotta play this, at least try it, and if you get stuck, just go to another area you might blast through it and it'll help you get souls/items in the meantime.
