During the first half of the game I had a good time. The bosses were fair and balanced, you could play the way you wanted. Yes, many bosses were hard, but with practice you could learn their patterns.

The second half of the game is the bigges overtunement in the history of soulslike games. I played all the way up to the Final Boss and even though it did not take me too long to arrive there I got sick of the game quickly after the swamp area. Attacks are not telegraphed properly anymore, reaction times are reduced to 0.1 seconds and it is genuinely impossible to find any joy in neither bosses nor running passages. Bosses have a million HP and when you finally put them down they stand back up. Why? Because nealy every boss in the third act has two healthbars which take 5 minutes to empty.

I am sick of this game. I genuinely can´t recommend it if you want to have a good time high difficulty, because of the amount of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Play proper Soulsgames instead.
