Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
All in all, I'm leaving a positive review cause despite all its problems the gameplay was still enjoyable, but I wouldn't say it's one of the greatest soulslike games I ever played.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
That decreases the Menu time and doesnt make it disgustingly boring to optimize your character.
