There were times in this difficult Souls-lite (sorry, yes, I said it – but I mean that in regards to its systems, not its quality, which is amazing) when I didn’t think I could finish it. There were times, after getting whooped by certain too-tough bosses over and over, that I didn’t even want to.
But there were other times when I marveled at what an experience it was; the beautiful lands, the mythical bosses, enemies, and characters brought to life, and the wild and memorable cut scenes (including the between-chapter animated shorts).
The Souls-like influence mostly ends with the game’s vibe, difficulty, and general design. Progression is more about skills, gear, and specific stat boosts. You lose nothing when The Destined One dies; your real-life sanity, maybe. By the end, I did most side stuff, skipped two optional bosses, and beat the final boss on my second try.
In summary, I recommend it, and it’s a really great game, but it does have a tendency to kick your teeth in until you’ve found the best upgrades. Even then, with end-game gear and stats, a couple of the optional bosses are a nightmare.

Great game, if you’re use to playing souls like games this game will be light work (imo) but if you’re not use to playing challenging games I wouldn’t recommend this game

This game should have been game of the year. Awesome combat, levels are amazing to look at and the story is great. 10/10

Awesome game, I’m nearing the halfway point and it sure is cool. Game looks incredible and plays so well. It’s not an easy game and there’s absolutely no settings (difficulty or accessibility) that make it any easier. Very rewarding to defeat tougher bosses and make progress in a game like this.

I was fortunate enough that it came in on release day. Thank you Best Buy! I am happy to say that this is not a digital code in a box, I only had to do a small update on the game after it finally downloaded from the disc to my console. And it does come with the deluxe upgrade code inside the case. The game is a nice action adventure RPG. Very forgiving but you will die a lot. And gives you a lot lore to dine on. I am playing it on a 60 Hz 4K LED 55 television. I do like what I see but I do wish I had a nicer set up to fully enjoy the art and gameplay till it’s fullest. I can see why this particular game won at the awards last night. If you’re a fan of the devil may cry series and enjoy something that tells a story with lore. I highly recommend this game for you.

Ive seen this game played on PC, on the PS5 on performance mode it still brings the game to life. Beautiful visuals and smooth gameplay. The combat is very cinematic, nice refresh. Cant wait to dive deep into its chaos.
