I don't get why everyone is crying about the combat, I actually really like it! I always feel like I'm fighting the camera as well as the enemies in souls games. LOTF combat and dynamic camera is very smooth (KBM player), parrying with ANY weapon is nice, one button press to toggle between 1h and 2h is also awesome. Hits feel impactful. Imagine dark souls with great hackn'slash combat. Even fighting without lock on feels good and I actually prefer it on some of the bosses. The equipment and class options are numerous and interesting! Sprinting, jumping off of ledges and combining light and heavies have unique animations with most weapon types. I really like the stagger system as well, feels very rewarding to risk parries instead of just dodging everywhere. First I was turned off by how the combat looked in all of the early reviews but now that I got hands on its definitely my FAVORITE out of any souls like. (you can even dual wield claymores)
PSA: I have an I7-8700k
50GB of ram
GPU 3080
3440X1440 monitor
I was having issues with performance even on the recommended settings, however after fiddling with the graphics settings I was able to get 100% resolution and a very stable 60fps. I recommend to turn off EVERYTHING first, then put you graphics on the low preset, max out your resolution, then start turning up whats important to you. Best part is the game is still gorgeous with draw distance, shadows, AA, reflection, post processing on low. However I am disappointed in the performance and the fact that I had to go through the effort to get the game running smooth.

CO-OP is better than Elden Ring's atleast.
