Game can be fun but the story, character interactions, and the characters themselves all FUCKING SUCK. It's early access so I won't hate on glitches but god damn do the characters reek doodoo! Lae'zel is one dimension and lame, Shadowheart is fucking boring and again one dimensional, Gael is like someone wrote their own op ass DnD character into the game at level 1 with the excuse being they lost their power. Astarion is funny as fuck, but is also just one dimensional. If you wanna be good then don't have him in your party because he will not like anything you do. Will is the only party member that I even remotely like. He is at least a nice guy with an okay backstory. Game is also terribly optimized for storage.

Game visually is one of the best out there and it takes some of the best features from all Fromsoft games out there and puts them in. The problem I have is that they take some of the crappy features as well. There are WAY too many bosses in this game, most of them just being common enemies with ramped up health. Enemies delaying their attacks for so long is not a fun thing to play against, sure you can adapt to it just like all other souls games, but all other games just feel better with it. It's like they saw that most people really like Sekiro's and Bloodborne's bosses so they put some that behave like them in here, but those games are way too fast paced compared to normal dark souls games for those bosses to work well, biggest example being Malenia. She is super quick, heals with every attack she hits, even if it's against your shield, and has one specific move that if you don't look up how to dodge, you just die. It felt so awesome getting to her just to realize that it wasn't even a hard boss fight except for that one move. Overall, game is probably one of the weaker souls games out there for me, but it is still an amazing stepping stone for other open world souls games to come out
