I'm so glad I remembered this game.
I knew of this game as a kid, I watched some youtuber play it, but I can't find who it was. I had always wanted to play it, but never got a chance to. Only a couple days ago, I remembered this game existed, and immediately went to play it.
And my god, was this game amazing. The combat is amazing, I love how fast paced it is, and being able to do crazy combos was absolutely thrilling. The bosses are really fun too, I was a bit worried that they would be tedious due to what seemed to be massive health bars, but honestly I never really noticed it that much.
This game also has a surprising amount of postgame content too, and I bet the postgame took up a 1/3 of my total playtime, and honestly they felt pretty worth it.
The sword-forging could be a little annoying when you're low on souls or spirit, but I really love it too, I love being able to make progress enough to craft a stronger sword, and at some point I eventually started to strategize which swords to get sooner rather than later.
I have to heavily emphasize the absolute greatness that is the art. Each environment is absolutely beautiful, and sometimes I just stood around, taking in the scenery. And I love how the monsters are designed too, they have a unique style I rarely see in other games. The music as well is great, and adds so much to the game as well.
I really hope this game gets a port or remaster at some point, it's well deserving of it, and I definitely think this game is very worth playing.
