    This is just another annoying Dark Souls ... George R. R. Martin touch is nowhere to be found. Graphics are not what I would expect nowadays. The whole open world thing is just lame, maybe suitable for 2010. I won't even get into the whole UI thing cause I get the point (they wanted to move away from those typical UI Ubisoft designs) so at least that gets this game the 1 I'm scoring it with.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought this would be a fun game. So I got it. Ended up being a brutally difficult leaving almost no room for fun. It’s almost impossible to actually find your way through things unless you played a dark souls game and know that things are just hiding against walls waiting to 1 shot you. The bosses are literally insane they can easily kill you faster than you can get one hit off with almost any weapon that isn’t small it’s just all in all a game that will make you hate it and will take much more time than it’s worth. So if you like games that give the bosses the cool move sets and the better weapons than by all means waste the 60 dollars and have fun either spending a full 30 min chipping away at a bosses health and practically just dodging the whole time or killing small enemy’s that roam to farm runes for weeks and weeks just to level up slightly (which makes almost no difference to anything except what u can use) so you can maybe kill your first boss and move on to the other 20+.… Expand

    So here it is! 11 years after a real "Masterpiece" Dark souls 1, 13 years after the foundation Demon Souls. If you like it or not, but these games were the foundation of a whole new genre and next generations of video games.

If you like it or not, but these games were the foundation of a whole new genre and next generations of video games.

    So, years of experience in the same base of genre must bring out something really new and improved, right?

    The Play style - Dark Souls 3 with more anime weapon arts. Some Enemies and Bosses require a specific way to play.
    Weapons - There are over 300 weapons and 70 spells. How many do you need? How many of them are useful? How many do you test of the usefulness?
    Animations, enemy and player models - every previous souls game (not bosses). And that's for real. Recycling at its finest.
    Crafting - forgettable
    Story - forgettable. Very good idea, to bring to the Shakespearean cryptic story more of the same.
    The chosen one going to kill or speak or interact with great ones like Miquella, Millicent, melina, miriel and rennala, renna, ranni and gowry, godwyn, godfry and morgott, mogh.
    Remember Nito? Or Gwyn? Why do they make so much nonsense-people to forget about?
    Then again, why should I care about the Story or Plot? The intro Scene is getting worse every Souls game, more cryptic and less care to make the plot interesting.
    The open world - the Art style is more like High Fantasy. I expected to see elves and dwarves dancing around rainbows. And it didn't get better. No more Dark Fantasy than, I guess.
    The open world itself is useless. I wouldn't call it empty, but it's more empty than previous titles.
    It's boring to discover the same enemies in another color.
    It's boring to ride around without a real destination. "But there is a destination, check the map!" Sure, but why do I need to have an open world then. Why not make smaller Areas with more detail. Even the "story areas" in this game have fewer details than the predecessor

    I stop here. There are games (ubi-titles, cod, battlefield and so on) which got bashed because of the redundancy. Right so, I guess. But why not does anybody even mention it for the Souls games.

    In this game there are the same negatives since demon souls: Camera sucks, Hit boxes sucks, all the same fighting styles (hit, block, dodge, cast spell) animations, graphically PS3, bad quest lines (if you miss a quest line or a NPC at the right time, your fault) and still nothing is shown or explained properly. I do not care if you are a hardcore fan, an option to turn tips on or off is not a negative thing and will nothing take away of the way you experience the game.
    At least they worked on the very best part in every Soul's game: the platforming. Now there is a special jump button which make the char jump. And the horse. Super Mario at its best.

    So, I had no fun playing this game. It was just too big and redundant and unimportant.
    I still love playing Bloodborne somehow, even it has the same old flaws every souls game have

    But If that's the future of gaming and a masterpiece, I am out.    … Expand

Games like WOW took hours, sometimes days to down a boss in a raid but there was always some juicy gear that dropped and had to be rolled on. You don't get that with this game at all. I cleared an entire camp that took me around 3 hours of stealth killing, running away, trying different tactics only to get something that my class of character can't even use. I killed a mob of 5 wolves and got a few bones from two of the wolves that I used to make one arrow out of. What's the point of putting a bow an arrow in the game if you never have arrows or have to grind 10 hours to get a quiver. Just senseless difficulty. Just a genuine torture to play. Game has no true content it just bogs the player down with senseless grinding.

    The story is so silly and half baked, it feels like a teenager wrote the script. The graphics are laughable in 2022. And it's not a true open world game.    … Expand

Furthermore, even if we disregard the frame rate issues, I’m not impressed with the gameplay at all. This has easily the clunkiest combat of any souls game so far; I find the movement is often unresponsive, and the hit boxes are horribly implemented. I’ll also add that if you weren’t a fan of Dark Souls, this game isn’t for you. It’s effectively Dark Souls 3, but this time it’s open world. Speaking of open world, let’s discuss that shall we? The map is pretty big, and gives you a lot of freedom and exploration possibilities, which is nice. However, there’s very little environmental variety, like at all. It’s all a very similar bleak landscape that never changes. This would be fine if the game was linear, but, for a game that encourages exploration so much, it kinda makes it feel repetitive. Perhaps a bigger issue, however, is that there simply isn’t a whole lot going on in the world. In many of the reviews for this game (particularly ign’s), they state that the game has a lot of variety in special events happening in the open world. However, I found that most of these “special” events are limited to being ambushed by enemy’s. That’s really the meat of exploring the map, is being ambushed by enemies. This is alleviated somewhat by the fact that the game has excellent enemy variety, from both a visual and mechanical standpoint. Though I don’t think that’s enough to save it from feeling repetitive (especially considering that many of the enemies are recycled from past FromSoftware games). Finally, I’ll talk about the traversal itself. The main positive here is that this is the first FromSoftware title to add a jump button, which is pretty necessary for this game. Beyond that though, it sort of goes downhill from there. There’s no climbing mechanic, no underwater exploration, no flying mechanics, etc. Are these things necessary to the game? No. But for as much as the reviews emphasized the “freedom of exploration” this game provides to you, it sort of rings hollow once you actually enter the game. So yeah, those are my thoughts as of right now. I know I am very much in the minority when I say this, but that’s how I feel. I would’ve given it a higher rating if it simply had a framerate lock option (even at 30fps!). But for me, personally, I have a hard time playing game with fluctuating framerates (especially to this degree)… Expand

Figured since it had the Game of Thrones writer on it it may be cool, but I guess this is the reason why everyone hates the damned show now. He must not be very good, probably another SJW propped up by the hollywood elites.

    Dodge mechanics are pretty clunky and don't seem to work quite right.. Seems like your character's hit box is larger than Nancy Pelosi's slush fund. Clipping seems to guarantee that the enemies kill you through walls and rocks and other crap, but you never seem to go through them. I presume it's some intentional feature to create a faux sense of challenge to the game. The alternative is that the programmers lack the technical wherewithal to pull of what they're striving for. Now that I think on that though it's probably the latter with the number of bugs this game has. Frame rate drops are pretty harsh and consistently occur on boss encounters.

    Maybe it would have been a cool game if the story was any interesting or if the developers were worth a lick, but they seem to be reaching for the stars when they can't even grab the dirt off the floor very well. Play God of War any of them and hard if you wanna play a real good game.

I figured with Martin penning the game's story it would be rather grand involving political intrigue and riveting tales of man's inner folly. Having grown up on D&D and CRPGs I expected to have a fair idea of what I was getting into.

    Much to my surprise, I found a vast open world filled with nothing to do. I created my character to wander around some lifeless void. Oh, it looks rather grand the art direction is quite phenomenal though the textures muddied and the game is plagued with pop-ins as well. I am able to forgive the occasional jank for a good and true RPG. I however did not find one in this game. I'm not sure what constitutes for an RPG these days amongst the general public, but generally it's a game with roleplaying options of which this game seems to have none other than building your character's stats and skills.

    All problems are solved through this game's languid, ponderous, and clunky combat. No non-combat or social options in this supposed RPG. The exploration as as dull and lifeless as the world in which it inhabits. Some scant crafting materials to create some mediocre items with minimal stat gains. Undoubtedly the usual carrot and the stick seen in the MMO sphere influenced this trash itemization.

    The dungeons were quite interesting and a more linear experience and I killed Margit after ten or twelve tries. The game's molasses combat was made even more frustrating due to the various technical issues that plague this supposed RPG (Hint it's not an RPG it's just combat pornography) Your character's hitboxes are far too large causing the enemies to strike you frequently when you're clearly outside of their swing radius. There's also numerous frame rate drops making the game's sole feature of combat extremely difficult since the technical execution of the developers lack of talent is holding you back further than the difficulty of the game is.

    All in all this game is not an RPG, there are no roleplaying options. It's just combat pornography for the youth's violent masturbatory sadist rituals. If you have any class avoid this buggy mess like the plague it is and cast it into the fire! I for one got a full refund from my local gamestore, but I hope to save others the expense. We all know this game doesn't deserve a perfect score.

    In the beginning It was around 25 fps, but in the middle to the end It keeps around 15 fps, hard to enjoy

    It's literally just a walking simulator except you might have an axe sometimes.

    What is this? Why should I go a long wat again and again in order to encounter the boss? Do you think we have nothing to do besides playing this game?

    Decent game with good ideas executed very poorly and handled abysmally.
    Among one of the biggest mistakes by them was creating the biggest Souls game with the most build potential and weapon combinations, but limiting how many times you can respec (redistribute stats) your character. There are many more mistakes, but this is by far the one that lowers my score the most.

    EDIT: Continues to be handled poorly. Proper balancing doesn't exist, big exploits persist without fixes, and they continue sticking with their awful decisions instead of addressing them. Continuous zero communication with their community as well. And awful netcode. All of this has destroyed the longevity of the game, when the Souls series is known for it. Score changed to 0.    … Expand

    do i even have to say anything? games like red dead redemption 2 and ghost of tsushima, who are open world masterpieces came out years before this and yet they out do this in every aspect. The graphics are not up to the mark, the story is boring, the open world is lifeless and predictable and you feel lost most of the times, gameplay isnt good enough, any aspect you can name, this gamedo i even have to say anything? games like red dead redemption 2 and ghost of tsushima, who are open world masterpieces came out years before this and yet they out do this in every aspect.

    I really wanted to like this game.It looked interesting, visually cool and a lot of people liked it.
    I am at about the middle of it (judging by the trophy number I had up until now) and it is so boring. At some point I tried to blame myself - I don't pay enough attention to the story, I am not doing the main story enough. But it gets worse and worse - for every interesting moment, there    I really wanted to like this game.It looked interesting, visually cool and a lot of people liked it.
    I am at about the middle of it (judging by the trophy number I had up until now) and it is so boring. At some point I tried to blame myself - I don't pay enough attention to the story, I am not doing the main story enough. But it gets worse and worse - for every interesting moment, there are 10 boring fetch quests of NPCs I don't care about. Or even worse - I need to interact with an NPC and then it appears at another place to be interacted with.
    The fights are plain boring - trying to understand if my character is stuck in something or the camera is clipping through the boss is the most fun in them. Otherwise it is just dodge/parry and then hit until the boss dies.
    One of the dungeons seemed cool, until I realized there are 4 more like it.
    The only thing I give credit to the creators is the size of the map, I think I am missing one of the territories and it is still enormous.
    Updated: Finished the game, all side quests and obtained all trophies just to check if there was something I was missing. Nope, probably won't remember anything in a week.
    Also if you are into graphics side of games - on PS4 there were some moments that the game looked like a PS2 one (looking at the ground from a very high place usually).    … Expand

    No matter how many studios try to replicate the formula, From Software is the only one that can deliver authentic Souls experience. [Issue#259, p.36]
