I started this up last night and man the PC version is a bit of a bummer. Capped 60fps and its performance is poor. I'm only getting 44~50fps in Limgrave on a 3060 TI/Ryzen 7 3700x at 4K. Even knocking down settings and resolution it's not even a locked 60fps. No ultrawide support or DLSS support is disappointing as hell. I feel like letting the game sit for a while until a patch comes and resolves these issues.
Besides that though at the start it took me quite a few tries to defeat the first boss that's right outside the cave you come out of. The tree sentinel gave me problems, but I tried to fight him on foot, which I almost did successfully. I then shortly after exploring a bit came across Torrent and was able to go back and beat him with ease.
So far though, the game feels like Dark Souls with a jump button and a mount. I feel as if I could turn this off and jump into Demons or Dark Souls with ease.
