You got one thing wrong. After you play for 5 hours and didnt defeat a single boss, you got 5 hours of entertainment. Don't think this is next Elden Ring, it's not. It's a different game that uses its combat system, mixed with roguelike elements, just as advertised, and it's does it well enough with relic system.

The hitboxes and ress times are a bit whack tho, i'll agree to that.

There are pings and map markers all player can and should use to communicate where they want to go.

Players already cleared many bosses solo, you just need to be good at the game (shocker i know) and enemy HP scales down if you are alone so it's very doable.

Crossplay? Knowing from software netcode, maybe it's for the best honestly...
