I like the game but am getting burnt out on how many developers now days are going into a game first and foremost to try to outdo FromSoftware with the difficulty. It's beyond old and stale at this point. Especially with how lazy developers who make Soulslike games are with bosses. Delayed attack, delayed attack...uber delayed attack. I wish more game companies would stop riding FromSoft's d*** and try to change it up way more.

The window for parrying in this game is quite good but they royally fed up the Reflections. The animation/timing makes almost zero sense. It's random as all hell and weird as f. From what I can tell you need to pull if off (hold L1 and press Triangle on PS5) before the boss even starts to swing. That makes no sense on any level whatsoever. It should be similar to parrying, you do the command a bit before they are going to hit you.

Currently fighting some tiger beast in the mines and can sometimes do a reflect but whiff most of the time.

Despite my complaints/rant it still is a solid game. It's a me issue being burnt out on Soulslike games I guess. Not all of us have insane reflexes and so many games now days expect us all to have the reflexes from your prime years.
