Game left me broken with it's engrossed game play, sounds, locale, darkness, and haunting story

And thank you Blooper for remaking an old masterpiece

While the OG SH 2 still holds up and is considered a must play, I'm so glad that Konami gave y'all a chance to remake the game because this is a excellent horror experience that we've been missing for so long

Hopefully we see more remakes from them in the future

The fact that an unknown studio from South Korea whose only other game they made is an MMO speaks volumes to the dedication and appreciation the developers have to the Souls genre especially to my all time fav Souls game that is Bloodborne

A world that comes alive with stellar sound designs, thrilling fights, and an engaging story not found in most Souls games

Difficulty is a suggestive thing.

I know a lot of the complaints for this game is that it's too hard + even harder than the Souls game or that it's unfair.

I found Seikiro to be harder than this game as Lies of P gives you a whole array of tools and mechanics to help you on your journey once you figure it all out.

As for the unfairness, you need to throw away your Souls knowledge and understand that this a completely different game with it's rules and mechanics

And when the game combats click for you, you'll just have a nonstop blast overcoming the next challenging fight like I did

There is some things that keep this game from being perfect (the running back to the boss after getting killed, the perfect parry window being very tight [though it also click for me], the extra dodge abilities being locked behind the upgrade system, 2nd phase difficulty spikes)

But for their 1st major AAA game, Studio8 blew it out of the park and have a formula they can make improvements upon for future entries

Can't wait to see what else the developers have in store in the future for this universe that they have created

The masterpiece that didn't need a remake, but man, are we blessed by Capcom for gifting us this new modern masterpiece

Been playing Monster Hunter since Tri for the Wii, and this has far been the best Monster Hunter to date!
Good for newecomers and veterans alike
Constant updates and support from Capcom meaning this game will be best value for your buck
Also, improve online play so no more frequent DCs!
