Definitely the red-headed stepchild of the Soulsbornes. That said, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. At first I thought it was novel that areas would be filled with too many enemies - like in The Lost Bastille when you open a door and there's like 12 knights waiting for you that come rushing out. It wasn't until several hours later that I realized this was the game's main move- to gank you with mobs. Overall not nearly as clever as the other games, but definitely can stand in the company of them. The main game's bosses were all disappointingly easy, and the DLCs are all insanely frustrating and hard. Still, I had fun.
