Tired of being disappointed by games this year?
Love Soulsborne games?
Then this is the game for you.
First off the game is incredibly well optimized, I have not had a single performance issue running at 1440p and max graphics.
My Rig:
I5-12600k
Nvidia 3070
32gb DDR4
It's not a bad rig but its quite a ways from being the best.
Secondly I have not encountered a single bug that I can think of, the only thing I thought was a bug ended up being an indicator for when butterflies are nearby.
The gameplay is solid it feels like Bloodborne with a little bit of Sekiro sprinkled in and enough small differences to let it retain its own identity.
The Story has been surprisingly good, and the setting is amazing, I feel like I'm in a hybrid of Yarnham and Rapture.
This game is the only Soulsborne I've ever played to be on the same level of quality as a FromSoft game.

Great game, unfortunately as of SteamOS 3.4.8 it is unplayable on Steam Deck. please fix if it's within your scope GSC.

Great game, perfect if you miss the Dead Space games. I did have re-occurring stuttering, but I was streaming the entire time so i attributed it to that, but ill be playing again on the hardest difficulty without streaming, so ill see if it still persists.
The new melee combat is very fun and is much nicer than how Isaac would just swing his arms back and forth. my only complaint is that the weapon select can be a bit wonky, also ( and this more a personal preference than a real complaint) the game was a lil more linear than i had hoped, i longed for more of the free exploring feel of the first dead space, and the back tracking to earlier levels to get goodies you saw earlier but couldn't reach. That being said the story is great and there is still a bit of exploring you can do as you go through. on one last note, there aren't many boss fights, but they are very hard, they will pretty much one shot you if you get hit, recommend patience. i cant imagine how much harder this is gonna be on maximum security.

everything you could do wrong with a game in one package

This is not Star Wars!

Thank god for one handed mode

This game is amazing, the load times can be a little frusterating, but besides that i think this may be one of my favorite games of all time.
