This game is piss easy, these bosses are a joke. I never played the original and don’t have much reverence for many of the souls games besides Sekiro and Elden Ring to an extent, so I can’t speak on what Bluepoint changed or kept the same from the original. Everyone mentions that the game looks stellar graphically which I agree, but I feel like the atmosphere lacks the kind of punch and crypticness that usually is associated with the souls game. Gameplay is still solid with really nice animations and the Nexus is a dope hub with interesting personalities. World tendency is really unique as a system that adds more depth to the levels but it feels underdeveloped here. The levels and worlds themselves felt fun to traverse through and make progresss in, though the trek back to bosses even with shortcuts unlocked still feel a little too long. DeS 2020 is still pretty enjoyable even though I do wish the original was made available in addition to or even bundled with this remake.
