Didn't like it.

Among all similar titles this one is way too sadistic and punishing to the player.

- Died ? Lose "souls" and ~10% of your gold; may return souls, BUT not the gold
- You decided to try char with Shield right in this game ? Well...good news ! Regular enemies will grab you when raised shield and poison you with shield up (both melee and ranged attacks - arrows)
- No proper respec
- Heavy armor ? Havent heard, any trash will stun lock you in a combo
- Every time you take damage, until you rest at sanctuary, - your max HP decreasing. With a Tree man I had a try, where I had 50% hp.
- No map for such a huge world

I see that devs love Souls series with passion and decided to build most dangerous environment they could. Same goes for enemies and bosses.
As always, they decided to copy cat From Soft and explain dog sht to the players. Okay. I was patiently waiting for a better weapon. I found or bought Battle Axe at the beginning and only upgraded it to +2 after reached Red Hall of Cages. What a ♥♥♥♥ up boss this location had..I was really impressed how sadistically creative you are, devs. Also that wonderful pit through whole location.
I've beat the boss, proceeded to next location, discovered (googled, because I was already tired of waiting and enemies in caves are pretty fat hp-wise) I should've farm some mobs for Transmutation mats to craft a better weapon.

I've also beat prologue boss after ~10 attempts. Nothing to brag about tho.

Didn't like aesthetic of the game at all. Idk what I liked, prolly nothing. Was just waiting for the game to become better. And it did. In tearing my bumhole.

Am not saying game is bad. Just not for me. Didnt like it at all. Tried, but couldn't.

Better play Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, Ender Lilies or, hell, even Death Gambit if you new into genre.
