A kinetic and aggressive soulsborne that has a combat system far exceeding its peers. With phenomenally designed opponents (for the most part) and a straightforward but dynamic move set, mastering your abilities in incredibly difficult encounters is rather satisfying. Almost all of the enemies are quite hard but very fair, meaning that learning them and yourself has marked progression to reward you. Although the story progression is a bit janky and a couple bosses are annoying and boring to fight, the overall package and the specific highlights are potentially the best ever devised.
