Genuinly a game that takes everything the series built in the last entries and takes it to the next level: more engaging combat mechanics, more consistent level design, fun and satisfying exploration and a gorgeous world.
Unfortunately the game is not without its flaws: there is an imbalance when it comes to builds with magic having way more variety than dex/str, there is variety for these builds but it doesnt feel good when you have to stick with the same dex/str weapons for hours on end while the game showers you with new spells and magical weapens after nearly every boss and dungeon; worst of all though it's the camera, its still the same one that worked for Demon Souls and Dark Souls1 but hanst been properly updated to deal with the changes every other game has done to level and enemy design and its still incredibly frustrating here.
