There are some good things about this game but it has probably the most boring combat and "skill tree" progression I have ever seen in a soulslike, and definitely worst parry system of all. And surprise surprise combat is central part of these games.
Wasted potential.
You basically have to play the same "campaign" twice to get to an ending. No autosaves, repeatable, no real feeling of progress in terms of your build. If it wasn't for 2B this game would fail in western market. Also after 35 hours I had less connection and care for characters than for some random NPCs in other games after 35 minutes.
