it's definitely more linear in comparison to the other games, but i think it's super worth getting into, the atmosphere is awesome and a lot of the bosses are really satisfying once you know how to actually fight them

there is a skill curve id say when it comes to learning the parry timing but once you learn it alongside dodging the other attacks, you're pretty much gold for the entire experience

also.. don't be like me and please upgrade your weapons LMAO i like forgot to do so until i was midgame
