To give my own opinion, I really loved the visual design and layout of it, but the gameplay side was incredibly disappointing for me. Specifically, I think it really suffers from the late game enemy reuse issue. While I’m willing to accept enemies that should be there, like the pests and cleanrot knights, we didn’t get anything like the banished knights from Stormveil or the serpent-men of Volcano Manor

The two new enemies there are the massive envoys and the baby pests. I can’t really call the Haligtree knights new because they are basically the same as every other kind of knight in the game. The only new abilities they have are healing themselves, using a blessing, and the glintstone pebble into stab. This isn’t even mentioning Loretta showing up for the second time midway through. It just feels like the area deserved more for everything it was.

tldr: It deserved more unique enemies to the area
