I just played through it again recently in the lead up to NR and its fine but it has way to much Bloodborne in its blood to fit with the other DS games and the linearity is a problem because it also pigeonholes you buildwise for large chunks of the game.
However anyone saying that shields and spells are useless is only half right.
They are completely viable its just that Straight Sword and Rolling are Optimal, but I still beat Nameless King by standing at a distance and using Vestiges for the fun of it.
Overall its just very linear and personally after all these years it would be more enjoyable to discuss how it and DS2 are Yin and Yang for each other in terms of how one builds a sequel to Dark Souls but this board has to many schizos about the topic to have an honest discussion.
