As good as it's been claimed to be. A fantastic send off to one of gaming's most important and innovative franchise. The first souls-like game I actually finished, and it was the one to secure this series and this dev team as one of my all-time favorites.
It's really very obnoxious when people just tell you to "get gud" and that's how you learn to enjoy the game, and it's just as obnoxious that, reductively, they're totally correct. If you're stuck, if you're frustrated, KEEP GOING. Learn to walk confidently into fights, learn to roll like your life depends on it (because it does), and keep your cool. Some of the most memorable fights and level designs of any game I've ever played. Memorable, throttling, enthralling, and wholly satisfying to finish; you really feel as though you've earned it.
