gameplay is so fun. fighting the enemies is fun, killing the bosses is so satisfying. most of them are so well designed and it always felt like it’s my own fault and i had room to improve. very addicting to play,

Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
the story and lore is great. always in the background so you have to work to understand it. despite not being a fan of fantasy, the world building and characters in this game are fascinating to me, and i can’t help but wanting to know all about them
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In a world where remasters and remakes of older games are putting out horrid performance numbers (*cough* looking at you Oblivion Remastered *cough*), it's great to see updated graphics on a game that ALSO has great stability.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Online multiplayer feels very authentic, you will have just as many good experiences as bad ones.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm not sure why, but I just kept remembering something "changing" in me when I was in the character creation screen, while "A Moment's Peace" was playing in the background(A soundtrack from this game that I still come back to and will continue to), and experiencing the utter comfort whenever I would spot a bonfire.
