I approached this game with a lot of caution, since I LOVE both Dark Souls and Dark Souls III, a lot of player do not like this game as much as the other ones, but I definetly enjoyed the experience.

Outside of the DLC, the bosses were quite easy, but there were a few examples, such as the Executioner's Chariot, that surprised me with different mechanics from what I could see in other Souls-Like games.

The biggest complaint I can have about this game is the fact that the areas feel poorly connected (thematically speaking).

This threw me off when I was replaying the game in order to get 100% archievements, since I remembered (almost) all the areas but I did not know wich ones were interconnected.

And on top of that, going through a poison swamp / mines and getting in an elevator that gets you to a fortress filled with lava... is quite strange, to say the least.

But, if I can leave aside the issue with the incoherent area design, I believe that a remake of this videogame could be a very pleasant experience in the future.

This would require a lot of work since elements such as hitboxes are laughably bad and a complete overhaul would be in order.
