10/10 game of the year. This is my first souls game, the open world allows me to level up and progress without touching a single boss. I over leveled to take down the bosses, but the grind I did didnt feel like a grind. There is so much to explore and acquire in the world, it feels like you got your moneys worth before beating the first main boss. Of course as other reviews have stated, I did have some minor stuttering issues with 1 crash and some lag spikes out of seemingly nowhere, but its not too frequent to make the game unplayable. I dont have a powerful computer or graphics card and my settings are on high-medium. The game still looks fantastic and I urge you to buy the game and try it for yourself. Just keep in mind that it is a souls game and is difficult, it is not an easy game. Adrenaline will pump through your veins and your heart will beat out of your chest, you will be left shaking for hours after a boss fight from the pure intensity and that amazing feeling of accomplishment. Maybe thats the normal feeling a souls game provides, but damn is this game an experience.
