What a fantastic game! I really enjoyed this game immensely and it has so many elements of games I love that I can see myself replaying this game again in New Game Plus. Hopefully Nintendo consoles will also see the other entries someday as well.

I found that the "Git Gud" crowd largely misunderstood the game's design and were the loudest about it, which scared a lot of new players away. Thankfully I had a lot of support with tips to help me through and I grew to love this game. The Ornstein and Smough fight, however, is such a massive difficulty spike in such an otherwise perfectly paced game and briefly caused me to shelf the game.
