2-Combat is solid you will struggle first few hours of the game because of how precise the parry mechanism is and that is frustrating but you can later on unlock fast parry from the talent tree and it should be fine
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

One of the more dynamic and satisfying fighting mechanics I've seen in a souls game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Outside of that, as i said, it's a very good souls-like that searches to innovate in some aspect, and achieves it, with a good skill tree, not overly-complicated, and simple mechanics that are good enough for what the game's length is
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Great Visual Style: The art direction, graphics, and character designs are spot-on, doing heavy lifting to establish a dark fantasy aesthetic.
