Buggy as hell, tons of places to leave the map, a million things that are confusing to understand, an indecipherable story, difficulty is all over the place.

There are a lot of things to complain about with this game, but the atmosphere and style are so good that it's absolutely worth going through. I haven't felt so compelled and rewarded to explore since Dark souls 1. Combat is a bit clunky, but it feels great to have armor actually feel like it matters. I could easily switch from tanky to light and dodgy, All the weapons and armor use the same materials which is a relief compared to the souls series. I can't say this game is for everyone, but for dark souls fans I think it's a must. I hope we see more from this studio.

The core mechanics of this game are great, but the terrible networking complely ruins it. It's also no fun to get new friends into the game because all the 4v4 modes have gear, which gives veteran players a huge advantage on top of their experience. In the end it's just frustrating and I regret wasting so much time on it.
