Probably the most specailized Fromsoft game, and a considerable departure from their other souls-likes. Although it is a very fun experience, it does have an issue of repetition. There are plenty of gadgets and styles of play, but you are rarely {outside of the optional superbosses or gimmick sections that work as a roadblock until you get a specific upgrade} pushed enough to be forced to change up your combat style from the basics of deflecting and the first couple of shinobi tools. Worth playing, but generally lacking the depth of replayability that the Soulsborne games are known for.

Great bosses, beautiful environments, interesting lore; but once you master the basics of combat it mostly becomes a war of attrition and finding the right moments to punish.
