Generally not a fan of what I consider indy titles or many of the small souls likes but this was all around so much fun! It did have some very frustrating moments and I pulled out the gun for certain sniping enemies that catch you an entire map away! I had high hopes going in and I was not let down. The aesthetic and feel of the game were spot on. The story was pretty good and the characters weren't too shabby either. The dialogue was quite entertaining as well. Some of the special abilities are beyond useful for managing the enemies and became a staple mechanic in the second half of the game but you could very much do without them as well so combat felt mostly balanced (excluding those pinpoint precision snipers). Highly recommended to those who love souls and action combat.
