A great twist on the otherwise-consistent souls genre. FromSoft shifts the player from a typical passive, patient playstyle into a much more aggressive form of combat. Difficult to master, but extremely rewarding.

Great level and enemy design as standard from FromSoft, only complaint is there are a fair bit of reused assets here (including recycling locations and boss designs somewhat frequently). Regardless, highly recommended for any fan of the souls-genre.

Agree with everything here outside of labelling it part of the Souls "genre". That's actually my only point of contention with this game. It's so different from their other games that it took me plenty of hours with it to truly feel as though I understood what to do. I think calling it a Souls game makes it harder to get in to. You really have to conform to the way it wants you to play. If you're 5 Souls games deep by the time you reach this you're in for a rude awakening without the right expectations hahaha
