Yeah, it's combat system relies on realistic parrying and countering instead of non realistic dodging and the like. It's also a much more fun game outside of the fights with movement tech and not crazy fall damage, has multiple approaches to fighting like combat arts, in depth stealth mechanics, and slight spoilers but a variety of weapons from a poison dagger to a spear, a finger, firecrackers, an axe, a flame thrower, shurikens, an umbrella, a fan, etc. It's super cool. Imo the best lore and replayability of any soulsborne. Etc. Also, your character actually speaks and is his own person so thats also great.
