This game, like many other Souls games, are difficult. VERY difficult. I have hard times in many places and many enemies that I gave up on and tried asking for co-op helps instead. Well, I guess 'difficult' is what we are asking for in this type of games.

The game performance is excellent for me. I don't have much complain about it having explored so many places continuously yet seamlessly. At times I will feel some small stutter but meh. On my computer it runs very smoothly in general and rendering quite excellent.

I have tried many builds: moonveil, mage, twinblades, claws, greatsword, and full faith.

There are tons of secrets in this game. Discovering them on my own gives a very satisfactory feeling. Looking through walkthrough to find secrets is equally fun I tell you. I see people keep discovering new places. Level designs are amazing. They are carefully thought through and amazing.

One winning point about this game is that it is a ONE TIME PURCHASE. (Unlike many other games that ask for more money with their microtransactions.) I can't wait for DLC to come. Take my money!

One thing that bother me though, is that dismounting Torrent (the "horse" mount) has some problem on uneven ground. This gives me trouble when fighting that dragon where I have to run fast to avoid the fire breath.

So, hey, don't wait. If you haven't tried this game, get a copy. Take up your sword and shield (or staff, or bow, or spear, or hammer), and smash those giant monsters. Or get smashed. Enjoy.
