I think it's very good, but its like so unbalanced.
I keep getting stuck at places and I literally have to google to progress. ( like finding the key to the Raya Lucaria Academy was just... ) They're not very generous with the runes, some mobs in more difficult zones still gives 300 runes so I constantly feel like im underleveled and I feel like I have to find a cheese spot to grind on because just playing normally is not efficient at all. I also hate the tomb/dungeons with a passion. Absolute clown fiesta level design with the rolling traps. You can avoid them and progress for 10 min but if you ♥♥♥♥ up once you'll have to start all over again and jesus christ just give us a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ checkpoint like wtf.
Literally a running sim. I hate the boss draconic tree sentinel its so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unenjoyable to play against. I feel like a lot of bosses doesn't have telegraphed attacks, they attack infront of you but hitbox is also behind them. And I feel like they did the progression so much better in DS3. This game makes me feel so wierd because I love it and hate it at the same time.

The VFX is really nice, magic looks super cool.
I've been doing the Ranni questline which has been pretty enjoyable and overall i've been enjoying the game.
But man some things are just super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unenjoyable and makes me want to play dark souls 3 instead.

Edit: After becoming a wiki-slut the game is enjoyable, I wanted to not get spoiled and just play it blind, but its so unenjoyable to do that since the questing is very vauge on where to go next. If I look up where to go on the wiki its way more fun. I think there's a charm to the vaugeness but i also feel like, i'd like to be able to play without looking up things constantly. And im not even like a new souls player, I played through DS2 and 3 but i still struggle with this idek.
