An absolutely incredible game held back by its overly big world and poor balancing. But despite all that, I had a very good time with this one, it's an insanely impressive transition to open world for the series, one that just kept getting bigger and more expansive the more I played. One with really fun bosses once mastered and some of the most well designed areas in the entire souls series.

And tbh not only that, but this oddly felt like the most fitting "finale" I could have gotten with this series, given I have been playing these games nonstop for the past 6 months, it honestly feels kind of bittersweet finishing this game. One of my new favorite franchises, and I cannot wait for the dlc
