Excellent Dark Souls-esque aRPG that expands upon the basic Souls gameplay in pretty much every aspect, and does it well.

Fighting rewards correctly timed attacks instead of R1 mashing, the bloodstain mechanic evolved past a simple pick-up to a choice between safety and boosting your combat ability when near it, armor finally has a noticeable impact.

Enemies attack accordingly to their gear - you won't see a knife-wielder wind up as if he's carrying a massive club.

The art design is brilliant, I really enjoy the armor and weapons, as well as the scenery.

Overall I enjoyed it for what it is. Just don't go into the game expecting Dark Souls 3.
