Wouldn't recommend it as someones first "dip into the soulsborne" universe. But I do think its good for players who have at least made it to the DLC. It is a rogue-lite and therefore, failure is part of the process and you learn which is the best path. Kinda sounds like a souls game right? You fight enemies, you learn what you have in terms of gameplay and respond in kind.

I think it just double downs on what makes souls games what they are.

I do however wish there was a better communication feature then pinging the map. Even being able to drop "Safe" "But Whole" would go a lot further than what we have right now.

But, I have found when you do have groups who ping a lot and follow each other, it can work. And yes, solo play is possible, it just requires more planning than the game should require as it is billed as a "multiplayer game"

And I think that is what has led to the most discourse amongst the community. Its not the matchmaking or solo mechs, its that, with a team like FromSoft, even if this was a small side project to keep parts of the team busy (Which I respect, Id rather have devs like with GTA6 who are honest, then gaslight us with BS release dates)

I wish they had of made "Duos" and a better balanced "Solo" play from release.

For ex. They balance bosses in the mainstream souls series, by adding extra health/other defenses for the amount of co-op characters you bring.

Why are solo players not given an appropriate balance? We have the summon creatures in OG elden ring, could have been a nice add-on for solo, even if you had to explore and/or kill certain bosses, would add a nice risk/reward.

I love FS, but I do feel like they did kinda take advantage of the community, in specific terms, in that, they expected matchmaking and great player interactions without a proper communication method, that players would literally "feel the pull of miyazaki"

TLDR: Good for long time souls fans, but it had much more potential
