After Backlogging this game for a while, I finally had the motivation to finish it. There are a couple of reasons why I avoided this game for a while...
The Start: Really frustrating and lack of skills and arsenals early game is demotivating. It just wasn't that fun Until I unlocked Ichimonji and good prosthetics. The fanbase of Souls games will always use "Get Gud" when you say a game is too hard. But this game is legit really DIFFICULT. There is no stat upgrading using souls, you upgrade your health with discoverable items and attack power by using memories of defeated bosses.
You either learn the PRECISE timing of parrying and mechanics or you can't beat the game. Some of the bosses are just so fast and hard to parry... I did enjoy the story and the scenery, navigating around was really dogshit, I hate when games have terrible navigation.
So honestly, you need to either have Godlike reflexes, or a souls fan to enjoy and finish this game.
