your first playthrough of this will be the best fromsoft game. subsequent playthroughs tho feel barren as hell since you know where to go and where not to go, the whimsy of exploring a huge world is lost since you dont feel the curiosity of whats inside that dungeon because you already know it holsters an ash of war you wont use. of course the replay value is saved a bit by the amount of build variety and the possibilities for challenge runs but idk if i will come back to this one as much as the other fromsoft games.
