Let's just start by saying I've played all soulborne games and tried this one time at my friend's ps4 and couldn't beat anyone , and found out the game is extremely hard but I thought I would give it a try and frankly found it easier than what I expected :(1) you have a lot of idol/bonefires unlike souls game I never found my self running 2 minutes all the way to a boss or out of health items before I reach the next bonefire (2) stealth is the main element of the game as you play as a ninja you don't go into a fight against 4 people no you take them one by one even the bosses you can take half of their health with stealth (3) escape way ...each time I found myself overwhelmed by enemies I just ran ,jumped and grabbed any tree I could find so I don't die and even when I die I resurrect after they walk away and I just run back to the bonefire (4) firecracker .. I can't say how easy the game has become with this item I mean you can stun bosses every time you use it you can stun any enemy in the game with it (5) gameplay ...most people depend on dodge as soul born but this is the exact opposite as dodging is optional while deflecting is the main thing as you can parry and deflect almost any attack in the game except specific moves so don't run ....attack!
But of course its fromsoftware game and it is expected to be hard and I admit its pretty hard but not as I expected If you played the game as they intended you would find it really fun ,challenging and satisfying My problem with the game is that it has many repeated bosses , useless items which made discovery and exploration not that fun and of course annoying death dragon root mechanic as the NPCs get sick and you can't complete their quests or buy from them when you die alot which is just annoying and useless other than that the game is really good and fun to beat 8.5/10.
