Doesn't match the "spectacle" that other Fromsoft games have, but it swings very hard and manages to stand well on its own. Combat is incredibly fun and some of the best in the genre; just don't get starry-eyed over seeing this game has parries and forget that sometimes you should just dodge an attack instead. The "magic" system equivalent is pretty lame and limited, but the weapon variety helps make up for this. There are some pretty interesting sticks and swords to swing around with their own special mechanics. Very much looking forward to more from these devs.
