I don't recommend this game for many of the reasons others have pointed out. While I did enjoy some of my time with it (mostly the online component, when I could find a match), I was left with feeling that they took parts of Dark Souls then tacked on some additional parts that do not fit very well. The game does not feel fluid, and many of the components do not fit well together. Add to that the cheap one shot enemies who can ignore basic game restrictions (why do enemies have a stamina bar if they can use abilities when they are completely out of stamina?) and boss battles that are frustratingly difficult. I won't get started on the overabundance of loot or the menus, I feel that they are a mess.

On top of all of this, this is a console port (released in Feb '17 on PS4) that they are selling for $50.

My opinion is they wanted to make a game that is hard just to be hard. Well, they did it, and the results are not very good.

"The overabundance of loot" Its a Diablo based loot system, think borderlands like its not supposed to be sparing like Dark Souls is, and also you prefer the multiplayer portion of the game and judge the game poorly because of that. If you judge a mainly singleplayer game based on its multiplayer features, of course you will be dissaspointed. One shot enemies are tedious il give you that, but the ki bar works differently for enemies than the player character. Its more of a way to gauge when you will break their guard not when they will attack.

A console port that is 50 for base game on console released for 50 on pc with all dlc? Great deal considering the content in dlc so no downside here.

If you think the gameplay isn't fluid or the bosses are too hard, you should look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxS51HqgiYY
