TL;DR: Beautifully designed game with great graphics, sound, and gameplay. Won’t play it over and over like Dark Souls.

Graphics: 9.5/10
Graphics are amazing. Never saw a glitch, texture error, or ambient/particle effect issue. Didn't like the particle effects much at some places so a 9.5

Sound: 10/10
I encountered some audio bugs where dialogues won’t complete and would skip to the next one. Some sound fx cuts too, where I'd lose complete fx for two-three seconds with only BGM playing. Otherwise the music, sound effects and the track selection makes it a 10/10.

Gameplay: 8/10
I am playing this on the recommended difficulty. The game is not as difficult to categorise it as “souls-like”. Shooting in this game feels great. You may run low on ammo early game but you keep it back getting after resting/killing enemies so the game does not encourage melee combat much for a lotta boss/quest exclusive melee weapons. Almost all non-boss creatures are melee and you are ranged. Map sucks. It does not rotate with your character, and climbing two steps of a stair changes the ♥♥♥♥ing radar entirely, as if you are on a new floor of a tower. And in some places, going up/down two floors changes nothing. Opening the map in pause menu does not allow us to change floors, the only way to know if you have explored a certain part of the map which is above/below you is to go and check.

Bugs: Minimal, almost negligible.
Enemy combat bugs were more frequent with ranged enemies where they would throw weapons at me and stand still, accepting their death. Was fun nonetheless.

Souls-like: 6/10
You lose nothing on death, your ammo replenishes after resting on checkpoints, enemy waves can be cleared without being touched, and no boss (so far) have a second phase or two health bars. Multiple bosses do exist though.

I got this game for ₹865 on sale (down from ₹1440) and I would recommend this game if it goes on sale again.
