Thing that pissed me off the most game uses bosses, as well as normal enemies, over and over and over to the point they thought we may notice and decided to stack old bosses and most other enemies are all recycled anyway or they use bosses from previous fights and scale its health to the new zone.

Most Triggering Example Yet: Only just lit the first of 5 towers a few hours ago
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opened a door that was staring me in the face from the start of the game 20 hours in and ran into a new boss with the 10th duplicate boss buddy of the day as well as 5 mobs . So 2 bosses and 5 mobs and you are forced to use the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lantern which is too slow whilst fighting 7 enemies at once otherwise they have a immunity to all damage. and mind you the first time I saw the dup boss I actually thought it was cool but in the span of 2 hour have ran into it 4 times. Also the boss it was put with was actually pretty good even with the mobs, which are recoloured, so it kinda takes away rather than adding to the fight.

also legit stole every good Sekiro-Souls-Borne mechanic whilst it makes for a decent game the fluidity from Elden ring is fresh in my mind as well as more recent competition from lies of P and definitely falls behind when it comes to verticality. I've also noticed a lack of tension in fights as compared to DS3 and funnily enough sekiro which it shares its main mechanic of resurrection with don't know exactly why just feel. I've had one or two bosses that saw me get in the groove and it felt great laying them to rest but its kinda diluted by all the duplicate bosses.

Overall its decent but I can see why its Mixed reviews at the moment the first few areas are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ obnoxious then the amount of recycled ♥♥♥♥ before even getting the second tower is a huge yikes, but the gear range and spell range is neat the big main story bosses thus far have not been too insane with anything like the fake out phases or a whole new boss fight back to back (Cough...cough ♥♥♥♥ you Sekiro/Elden ring) again not perfect but not terrible, if you just want gameplay I'd say give lies of P a try but i admit that game lacks the rpgs stuff of making you own dude from wide range of starting fits.

Second tower
-------------------------
I keep getting deeper and deeper and its reused enemies with over-scaled health I see old enemies thinks sure I'll whack this and it got 5x times the health it did 1 zone before its just kind of ♥♥♥♥ tbh, make some new ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ assets for gods sake just barely 2 towers of 5 and it is just the same ♥♥♥♥ over and over
