It's open world Dark Souls, and that makes it outstanding. All the best parts of Soulsborne games are here and have been further refined to make it the ultimate version of From Software games. The way it approaches the open world by providing a map, but no information on where to find anything is incredible. It makes discovery and exploration a pillar of the game's design where other open worlds simply share a checklist of things to do so you know where everything is. If you like Dark Souls games and want to see the evolution at its fullest potential, pick this up and go in blind. Take your time. Explore the world. Soak in the environments. Talk to everybody, and take notes in an actual notebook. You may surprise yourself with how immersed you'll feel.
