Bruh, I am not a souls dude in no regard but wo long is freaking amazing. I have never been stuck just playing for hours on a single level like I did this game. Its like if you lose, you don't feel like you were cheated and obsessively try to get revenge. Also, the invasions are dope because of the multilevels of the maps. I had a dude try to bait me into chasing him on a roof and i just pushed forward through the map. He was mad as fukk, like "FIGHT ME" and i'm like, not up there I am not.
He then chased me down and i hit him with that staff, plucking his skull open lol.
Its way more fast paced than elden ring and the different movesets of every weapon, along with special martial arts just makes its so interesting. Unlike Elden Ring (which I love) trash mobs can and will destroy you quickly.
But the same can be said about mini-bosses that normally would be a nightmare in elden ring, but in this game, if you get the jump on them, can wipe them out before they can recover.
I probably played 12 hours already and I am not even past the hidden village. Dying all the time, grinding, learning the martial arts, its god mode.
Lastly, the fact that everything is SOOOOOO fast paced is wild to me. Like, it can be straight gun blazing in certain parts where you straight up sprinting on roof tops weaving and dodging oncoming arrows and gods.
Y'all really need to not sleep on this. BTW, I heard horror stories of the PC port. The Xbox one is FLAWLESS.
Downloading now. I will play it when I get off.
