Satisfying block mechanics and very rewarding, difficult first but easier throughout the game depending on your 'growing' / learning to perfect block.

End-bosses could have been more difficult in my opinion because i struggled early/ mid game, endgame however i died more in the over world compared to the bosses (last 3-4 bosses) but this can very on your playtrough. (friends had also simular endgame but just slighty easier then mid-game, this could also be because u learn to time almost anything so maybe this makes u just better in general)

Great story and way better 'showed' / experienced in the game compared to og souls games.

Graphics are very good and this shows constantly throughout the environment.

Level design is a bit too narrow compared to the og souls games however it means you need to get gud wich for me was great and because of this it felt rewarding whenever i beat a boss.

Its there first game in the genre and they absolutely nailed it. Definitely worth money otherwise could be played on xbox games pass.

Cant wait for there next game!

Overall perfect for souls like fans.

monkey does a lot of flips and therefore 10/10, game of the year over astro bot for sure
