From Software's best game. This game is consistently at a high level - from its areas to its bosses. The largest improvement is in its combat system - at its best it is simply superior. Even basic mobs are fun to fight as you adapt and learn it, instead of being a hassle and quick R1 spams that you see in most souls games.

The challenge presented is a good one, asking more focus and mechanical skill from the player but once you learn the combat, it rewards you much more. You go head to head with the bosses as an equal as opposed to just avoiding as you see in souls. Once you get good, I believe this game is easier than the other games.

However, there is a fairly high initial skill floor; souls players will have to learn to deflect and not just dodge. Will have to adapt to push and apply more pressure and play very aggressively - until then you will struggle. Once that initial requirement is done, it should be smooth sailing.

This game has the best bosses from From Software - with most fights being intense 1v1's. The boss replay function is something I for the life of me don't know why they haven't included in the other games.

A bit of a disclaimer. This is NOT an RPG, its an action game. You don't get customisation and weapon choices here; that is the trade off for having the most tightly packed and perfect combat system from FromSoft. The openings are the same, everyone gets the same experience and thus has the best balance.
