Probably the most overall solid entry in the series, having all around solid gameplay, level design, and boss design. I am NOT a fan of the changes to invasions and helping others; 9 times out of 10, you will get ganked if you invade, because the more people are in a world the higher the chance to get invaded. This means you will very rarely get invaded while playing solo, and that takes away alot of tension. That said, its a very solid single player experience that I recommend playing through.
