Probably like my 4th attempt at trying to beat this game. Went into it committed to finally beating it and hoping that everything would click with the experience, and that mostly happened. I still think that having to grind for healing material is stupid, I think the Chalice Dungeons are just awful, and I honestly think that a huge chunk of the bosses were not particularly interesting or fun to fight. Regardless, much of the classic stuff that From does really well is still great here, coupled with a fairly unmatched narrative and world aesthetic in the gaming sphere. Also, the DLC is fantastic, although that IS to be expected with Fromsoft games lol
