PROS: Bloodborne 2. Great art design. Music is great. Somber atmosphere really sucks you in. Gameplay is challenging but fair... although parry window is tight it's necessary considering parrying is such an important component of the gameplay. Upcoming patch which will allow dodging from the ground by default will help balance difficulty anyway. Blade/handle customization system allows for approaching problems in unique ways.

CONS: Besides aesthetics is a total Bloodborne/Dark Souls clone. This doesn't bother me personally, but I can imagine some people might get a "been there done that" vibe from the game considering it doesn't take many risks with the formula. Of course, "if it ain't broke don't fix it," but I might have enjoyed a more unique approach to the soulsborne formula.

Overall satisfying, challenging, and immersive. 100% recommended for fans of the genre or those curious about the genre... but if you didn't like Dark Souls or Bloodborne you're more than likely not going to like this either.
