Honestly one of my favorite games of 2023. If you're a fan of Soulslike games and third person shooters, this game packs in tons of secrets and customization. I've done several playthroughs now on different difficulties and I think I've finally found *most* of what the game has to offer. This game has tons of content for the price it's worth and an absolute boatload of reply-ability. I cannot wait to see what the DLC has in store for adding to an already amazing game experience.

Lorewise, the world-lore is some of the most interesting i've seen in a while but on the downside the main plot leaves a lot to be desired. It's a good thing the rest of the gameplay loop is so enjoyable and atmospheric that I don't mind many of my gripes with the main story.

Also, you can pet the dog.

All of the DLC is pretty fun but I feel like they haven't quite nailed getting the game to be more replayable after going through the game a few times prior to the DLC releases.
