I believe that the whole souls genre is generally overrated and not that great from an unbiased point of view.
1. The Graphics are beautiful, sure.
2. The gameplay is mediocre as hell boiling down usually to rolling out of 20 attacks from a boss, using one of your attacks and then rolling again. Add some special skills in-between or some magic and that's it.
3. The difficulty that's generally glazed to the heavens usually boils down to "The enemy hits like a tank and also the HP of a tank while you are built like a twig". Which is an artificial and boring way of amping the difficulty.
4. And the story is generally very convoluted but overall acceptable. It's a fucking shame that nothing is actually explained in the game properly and that you have to watch YouTube videos for everything to make sense.
To recap; beautiful graphics, mediocre gameplay, artificially inflated difficulty and a convoluted story that's just not worth the hastle.
My recommendation? Play other games.
