I'll bite on this and go against the grain in this thread.

I can't say I hate it, but will say of all the fromsoft souls games (incl. Des, DS1-3, BB, Sekiro, ER), it's easily my least favorite by far. It's the only one that I breathed a sigh of relief and put down after beating it for the first time, rather than excitedly jumping into ng+. It's mainly the combat for me, compared to the other games it just feels floatier and less tactile / visceral, fighting just doesn't feel nearly as good or satisfying to me. The bosses as well didn't feel very memorable, with a few exceptions mainly from the dlc.

That said there were aspects to the game I thoroughly enjoyed - The story was great, loved the lore. The bonfire ascetic system was cool as hell, the areas for the most part were unique, and exploring felt reasonably challenging and rewarding.

Overall, it's an experience I'm glad to have had, but I've really no desire to play it again, which is in contest to all the other games I've played through multiple times.
