I've been playing Soulslikes since I imported a Chinese copy of Demon's Souls before it released outside of Asia. This game is one of the better non-FromSoft games in the genre. The art design, dual world system and level design are absolutely impeccable as is the end game fashion. Some bosses are underwhelming and a lot of weapons share the same moveset but these are minor gripes in an otherwise awesome experience.

The only real negatives are performance and technical issues. The only way I can get a smooth framerate is to either use FSR (which doesn't look great) or by lowering the game's internal rendering resolution. I've also experienced a lot crashes and they always seem to happen when the game is trying to load a visual effect from an enemy attack or spell. Apart from that it's been a great experience.

The devs seem to really care about the game and they release frequent updates. Sometimes these patches take a step in the wrong direction but they do take feedback into consideration and try to give us the best possible experience.

TL/DR: This a very solid soulslike with an amazing art direction and some of the best level design ever seen in the genre only held back by some technical problems.

Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!

It really makes you feel like Spider-Man.

The parkour system and overall traversal is a massive improvement over the first game and the combat is alright but everything else feels like a step back. The only time I find myself enjoying the game is when I'm just running, jumping, sliding and swinging around the world. If you enjoyed the first game this is worth a look but don't buy it for full price, wait for a sale.

Great modern cRPG in the style of the classics. Excellent writing and role-playing.

Awesome game. I have 173 hours on the PS4 version and I will probably top that here. It runs great on my PC and unlike a lot of other people on Steam I managed to figure out you can select between Xbox and PS button prompts. One of the best action games ever made and certainly my favourite combat system in a game.

A great game with a great setting and excellent atmosphere. Highly recommended to fans of the soulslike genre. The addition of local co-op and remote play together as well as the low price of entry makes this a no-brainer.

The best ARPG money can buy.
