I tried my best to enjoy this game. for a few hours i loved it. the scenery is amazing, the combat was fun and the storytelling was very very cool. but then it all really ends, the scenery stays amazing but everything changes. enemies begin to kill you in one or two hits, you think maybe your under leveled but your not. even if you wear the heaviest armour and get the highest vigour your still getting one or two shot. bosses and even alot of normal enemies get broken and unfun movesets that they spam non stop without even a chance to counter.

loot is long and far between, the weapon upgrade system is ball achingly tedious and impossible, they simply do not give you enough materials to keep up. the pvp is provenly broken, the game is filled with bugs and its opening weeks were a stuttering unplayable mess. they obviously rushed this game. the first few hours are golden and then everything falls apart with artificial difficulty and plainly non playtested boss fights.

The game is obviously balanced around summons and co-op. meaning you have to get help to defeat most bosses or you have to cheese them. the alternative is spending hours upon hours learning inconsistent movesets that can branch into other movesets in insta kill combos that may or may not weave into another combo. enemies literally read your inputs so they can 100% dodge any ranged attacks if they want to or punish you in a inhuman time frame, things you should be able to reasonably do are simply impossible because it comes down to a few simple factors.

The game cheats, its filled with artificial difficulty, it doesn't care about being fun or fair or even challenging. the worst thing is because its a fromsoft game their being paraded like this mess of a game is a unparralled masterpiece when in reality its a cheap cheese fest of ungodly proportians. you either have to a masochistic streak to enjoy this game or your so blinded by fanboyism or riding the wagon that you delude yourself into liking it.

Come back to this game in a year or two and people will have left the honeymoon Phase and be honest about the game. it's cheap trash. it could be amazing with some simple changes but for now its unbalanced unfair cheap garbage.
