Played the game for almost 25 hours (Steam time) at time of writing the review, I have completed a NG run and done all side quests playing an engineering/ alchemy build, I plan on doing NG+ runs and getting the DLC.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
This game is fun ash bro don't let the negative comments get to you the only thing i can agree to them on is the game do kind of feel unfinished a little but that doesn't stop gameplay its still fun fr i would recommend but only on sale or just pay full but this game is soooooo fun to me and i've played almost every soul like game but this game do kind of feel too easy i beat almost every boss without a sweat sometimes without dying i just beat the entire game and by the way the game is not unoptimized at all cause i don't even have a high end pc Ryzen 7 5800x and a rtx 4070 and i can play it at max setting with dlss quality and runs smooth get around 87-97fps at 1440p so i don't know why people complain about it being unoptimized and this game is not near boring once you learn the gameplay it becomes fun and easy no doubt the dodging and combat is good and no the game doesn't feel chunky at all i don't know why people say that its smooth but yea i recommend 100% but only on sale and people only call it trash cause they comparing it to games like Elden rings, lies of P and dark souls and bloodborne which are obviously better i mean look at the company's cant really compare from software to spider studios at all mind you this is spiders studio FIRST ever soul like game and i think they did a good job just for there first souls like

Somewhat boring, but I appreciate that it's there and the voice-acting is pretty good.
