Too many bonfires. at one point in the game you can see one bonfire from another bonfire as it is a straight 200ft run between them with no enemies the bosses difficulty only come from their heavily increased health and the action of chipping away at them while they two hit you. Poise is literally not a thing now, you can be wearing havels full gear with as much poise building items as you can, and you can be naked, I can guarantee you will stumble the same. The only way to achieve poise is to use weapon arts which last for about 2 - 10 seconds. The game is way too short, the level design is terrible, the characters are unmemorable (Except Anri) and the community is mostly toxic. With all this its still kind of a fun game because it makes you feel like you're good at the game when you kill bosses until its difficult facade is easily shattered when you play the first game. I thought this game was incredible at first until I played the original and was blown away. But hey, engine, graphics, and controls are better so its easier for the new guys
