pretty great! it both feels like a sequel to a lot of whats in dark souls while also going back and bringing back a lot of great stuff from demons souls. it would've been nice for there to be a greater cohesion between levels, but it's certainly more interesting than how ds3 does it, and i prefer the world design here. unfortunately level design isn't amazing, and is often pretty confusing with areas that can blend together, but it never becomes too confusing to navigate. it feels janky, weird, but i also like that about it - it feels daring and unique, like it isn't scared to alienate people and try new things. it's something i find sorely missing in recent fromsoft titles. anyways yeah, really great, starting the dlc now!
