One of the best games of its generation. I was a souls-fan before Bloodborne, but this game really fullfiled all my expectations, and some more. The atmosphere throughout the game is unique, mixing victorian and lovecraftian horror. The more fast paced combat in addition to the rally mechanic make it more engaging and thrilling. Most of the bosses are really memorable and unique and they provide a fair challenge. The soundtrack is amazing. DLC is a must-have as well, providing more amazing and complex bosses, areas and lore.
I feel like the PVP more shallow compared to other soulslike, as it often comes down to parry-spam. Despite that it is the game that got me into PVP the most.
Enjoy the hunt!
