An absolutely phenomenal game. I honestly think it's harder than any soulsborne I've played (at least when it get's difficult, half of it is stupid easy and the other half is crazy), but that might be cause I'm not somebody who likes parrying, and prefers to dodge wherever I can. And its difficulty is well done too, it doesn't rely on dumb bs to cheese you. The only real downside I can think of is that there isn't any voice acting, but it's not a serious issue in the slightest. Absolutely recommend.

Fantastic game. An easy 10/10 if it wasn't brought down to an 8 by like 3 bosses (Godskin Duo, Elden Beast, and Commander Niall), which are the least fun I've ever had in a game.

Also Malenia is perfect you're a dumbass if you disagree.

It's got its problems, but it's still a phenomenal game so far. Things are actively getting fixed too, so its bound to improve.

I would actually quite enjoy this game if it weren't for the piss poor performance. There is most definitely other glaring problems, but I at the very least want to be able to play the game ffs.

It has a retardedly difficult leveling system, and it's grindy as ♥♥♥♥, but that's what I love about it. If that doesn't appeal to you you won't like it, but if it does it's a vibe.

This game is an absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ masterpiece.

I can understand the criticism, but generally I think the good far outweighs it.

The gameplay: This is not a game that focuses on gameplay. If admittedly boring gameplay is a dealbreaker, you won't like this game.

The story: It's very slow and you find out what the game is actually about as it progresses. I honestly quite like the pacing, it works really well in my opinion, though I can see how some people wouldn't.

The horror element: This game is advertised as a horror game, but it's really not. There are segments where it very much is, but don't get it in your head that it's present throughout the games entirety.

From here on are light spoilers, so if you want to go in blind don't read any further.



The characters: They're incredibly tropy at first, but that's intentional as they're caricatures of the people they actually represent. The entirety of the dream segments is Sunny's skewed messed up fantasy.

Taking this game seriously was the worst mistake in my life. Just play for fun and vibe, caring about this game will throw you into a downward spiral of pain and self loathing.
