A fairly overrated soulslike. I suppose it doesn't help that I don't enjoy 2D action games, but the dark atmosphere really pulled me in. After hearing about how good of a take on Souls this was, I decided to finally play it through.

However I swear I died far more to fall damage than I ever did to the bosses, which really isn't enjoyable at all. There are waaay too many leaps of faith you need to take here, and the complete lack of a map system doesn't do the game any favors at all.

That being said I enjoyed the world and the lore, but the gameplay is seriously lacking. In boss fights it essentially boils down to Dodge left, then right and attack until you win. Honestly pretty disappointing overall.
