This combat system is fun, but dodging does not feel viable in most cases.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
112 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
most definitely not, but the content here is great, the build-crafting is fun and very streamlined, and I can see myself playing ng+ if that's a thing (I'm staying offline until I reach credits).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It combines satisfying Soulslike combat with exceptional atmosphere, rewarding exploration, disturbing enemy designs, and environmental storytelling that respects the player's intelligence.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The notes/lore drops around are actually interesting to read, the world building is really well done, and thankfully the other characters you meet have lots of life to them.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Graphics look Awesome and I'm really enjoying the OST music in the game!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Voice acting is better than you'd think, especially William, though his lines are somewhat unnecessarily pompous at times
