I don’t really get all the hate this game gets. It takes a slightly different approach compared to other Souls titles, but it’s still challenging and a lot of fun to play. The story is actually pretty good for a Souls-like.
The mid-game feels pretty empty with not much content to keep you engaged. To get the platinum trophy, you need to finish the game three times, but since New Game+ doesn’t add anything new or interesting, there’s really no reason to replay it. The game often feels rushed and lacking in creativity. Still, the combat is fun and well done — that’s the main reason it deserves a 5/10.
