i like this game a lot more than all the actual souls clones because its not trying to be souls, it wasnt even inspired by it and yet it best emulates some of its qualities
>I fucking hate estus clones. Im tired of games where you have a secondary healthbar that runs out then you just die as the games' primary difficulty, i hate chugging twice to heal to full, its boring
>Im tired of railroaded progression, i want cool worlds like DS1 but for the entire game and not just half
>Im tired of lower budget developers trying to ape a higher budget formula while lacking the skill to make a good souls clone, let alone the skill to make a good souls clone with an infinitely lower budget than souls games
>Im tired of corpse run mechanics that serve no purpose and are just there for aping souls
>Im tired of iframeslop and parryslop
>Im tired of games always wanting to be a generically uninspired "le hard and le punishing" that still fail to actually become hard because theyre bound by their inferior shallower version of iframe reliance defense

i like this games' plot a lot
