Genuinely amazing game. People will discount this as some Bloodborne type souls clone. Which is very unfair to it, this game does its own thing and does it exceptionally well.
In some cases its better than Bloodborne, taking what was there and improving on it in almost every way.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see features this game has be implemented into future Souls games or souls clones.

Music is amazing, characters and NPC's are full of life and tell an amazing story for each one with their own personality that shines, the story itself is not obscure like Souls style but has depth with the world slowly revealing itself and leading hopes into future games in the world.

My biggest problem is the boss fights, they are amazing and fun and challenging in a fair way, BUT way too many are multi phased. It felt like every other boss had another phase behind the first health bar or midway through a health bar. This lessens the impact of a boss phasing into something else.

My GOTY for 2023
