first, this game is very difficult if you never played a "souls like" game before.The target audience was definitely for "soul -like" fans. but for a game that follows a formula it hit the mark very close to the target, but what makes it better is how it played the story and gameplay uniquely. the combat could use some work as it expect you to be perfect in every move which becomes monotonous. but other than that its very great game in its own right. the map laylout is very linear hence it is really easy to navigate but i dont really mind it. dont expect to play like dark souls but interchange between bloodborne and sekiro
