This is one of the best games I've ever played. It's a masterful culmination of what FromSoftware has done so well with their previous Souls games (and Bloodborne/Sekiro). The open world is endlessly interesting, with all kinds of secrets and discoveries. The enemies and bosses are largely unique and appropriately challenging. Some of the repetition of bosses did get dull, but I still felt compelled to explore everything I could even after fighting my third or fourth tree spirit. The legacy dungeons are really where the game shines for me. Leyendell is a high point, but I thought they were all really well done, and I even wanted a little more out of some (looking at you, Raya Lucaria Academy). Fantastic game!
