Dec. 2024

The game is fun, and the combat is very engaging. I only have two problems with it: There is no map, so I often don't know where I am or where I've been. It would be super helpful if this game had a map. There are no missions or anything to tell you what to do next or where to go. It kind of just throws you into the world and expects you to explore on your own. I mean, I get it if that's what they were going for with an open-world game, but I'm so lost right now. Despite the confusion, I still leave this review positive. I'm going to keep at it, and maybe somehow I'll finish it. also the music in this game is just so fire I wish they would sell it

Dec. 2024

This game is weird but I'm enjoying it. The combat is cool, the player's movement is fluid and it has some cool mechanics like harden thing and different shells Is it the best souls-like out there? No Is it a good one and worth trying? Yes, I think so

Dec. 2024

Dec. 2024

I played and finished this game on console twice. I don't leave reviews but when I saw that this game had a Mixed recent score I felt I must leave my take. It's honestly one of the best souls iterations and I often return to play it. I see a lot of reviews talk about the stone mechanics or farming plants too much, honestly it's a bit much to leave a negative review for. The game doesn't force you to farm or play a broken build and the difficulties lay in the fact that failing is so punishing since you have to kill everything again. Having more resources to heal yourself after every enemy killed and brute forcing your way through the game by over farming is a choice. Using the stone mechanics becomes needed when facing more then a single enemy. Boss fights are a learning curve and require near perfect execution like dark souls. I highly recommend it and remember its under 14G storage easy to keep it installed and come back to it if your other favorite games start to bore you.

June 2024

Relatively short game and very difficult. Very well made and beautiful scenery. All of the complaints are by people not adapting to the game mechanics, expecting it to be a certain way... That defeats the purpose of the game. A+ game. I am stuck on the last boss. Don't expect the devs to "fix the parrying mechanism" just because I can't cut it. Very good game, just short.
