The first few hours of this game were an absolute disappointment to me.
I saw nothing of the beta and i was specting something more innovative like sekiro, BUT THIS GAME IS DARK SOULS 4.
After i interiorized this idea and cleared my initial expectations, this game is the peak of the Dark Souls mechanics, it just doesnt get better than this. Its as polish as it gets, feels better than ever, INSANE amount of variety not only in weapons but the ashes of wars puts a complete level of customization that is great, the amount of magic and miracles is amazing. Overall i think this is the peak of what a Dark Souls can be, and puts From Soft in a position when the next game HAS to be innovative just because the formula is pushed to its absolute limits in this game and is executed the best way possible.
The only twist over the DS formula the game has is its open world, and i think there is no better way to put this than: is the only open world in a videogame that can be compared to the world of BOTW. The density of dungeons, caves and places of intrest I think is near perfection. The map is HUGE and yet is insanely DENSE. Ive played for over 100h at this point and i still havent found everything and ive never experienced yet an area that felt empty. The only downfall due to the world being so open is that bosses doesnt scale with you (thank god) and that can make u face bossfights (that are thought for early game) overleveled and that just ruins the fight completely.
And as a quick little note, Ive heard a lot that this is the easyest souls game, and i very much disagree, this is the easyest souls game to break tho, the open world makes it so u can just run the overworld and access items ment for later in the game on a regular playthrough but the difficult on the bosses on the game is really competent.
