[b]This souslike has my favorite combat EVER, it's so smooth and the 3 different types of parries are SO FUN [/b]
[h3]Pros:[/h3]
A lot of people don't know this but when you reach chapter 2 or 3 you can play as Female Khazan, the combat is so good, you have a perfect parry and a perfect dodge if you don't like parrying, if you like parrying you have, brink guard, reflection and deflection, reflection lowers the enemy's stamina/posture by a HUGE mark like in Sekiro, it has good customization of outfits, Reese's soundtrack is PHENOMENAL, the bosses are so memorable. You can choose between a Spear, Duals, or Greatsword, I am not a Greatsword player but this is the only game that made me play a Greatsword, GS gameplay was VERY fun if you love that weapon, I love the art style and the graphics were amazing, the game is also optimized despite having Denuvo. THE LAST BOSS IS SUCH AN SPECTACLE I LOVED IT.
[h3]In Between:[/h3]
Story is not good but not bad either, it can be very obvious what's gonna happen, it's also sad because DFO lore has good lore they could have used if they decided to continue the game. The game is linear but I never minded that, sometimes I do not want yet another Open World game, the level design is not as bad as people make it out to be but yeah it lacks exploration a lot, in side missions they re-use some bosses.
[h3]Cons:[/h3]
One of the bosses has the WORST camera I have ever seen in a game EVER, some dead NPCs, you cannot jump and if you fall into water you die cus this is yet another badass character that cannot swim, Phantom Form feels like an afterthought, there's no proper boss rematch like in Sekiro/LoP, instead is a gauntled where you have to grind your abilities again, there's not many ''secrets'' which I love to find, and the lamp you get is very whatever cus it doesn't help much, the studio got transfered to other projects so we will probably never see a continuation.
[b]Platinum’d after 69 hours.[/b] There's a few missable achievements but nothing big like LoP/South Park. They added difficulties lowering the value of the ribbon for all achievements.
I really suggest to not play this game like DS/ER/NR, play it as a more action Sekiro like.
