I enjoyed my time with the game. But there's not way I'd recommend this steaming pile of jank to anyone.

Compared to later entries, there's an awful lot of backtracking. In addition to some of the worst areas and bosses in the entire series. Do yourself a favor and start with Dark Souls 3 / Elden Ring. Same challenge, same sense of exploration, a lot less frustration.
