-Really balanced difficulty, not too hard like a dark souls, not too easy like a child's play, with stats and upgrade to evolve, with a start character (a very well hidden difficulty level)
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
7 of 254 sampled reviews raised it
-Introduction to the plot, beautiful, which really feels like a dark souls, and therefore doesnt make us loose our bearings
