It really feels like the time I spent exploring, finding secrets and killing bosses has truly paid off and that's exactly what a Souls-like should be.

PERFORMANCE, 10/10: I HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE CRASH. i have a good pc, but this game is the first in a LONG time to have insane graphics and effects, AND run flawlessly on ultra settings at a consistent 130 fps with 4k resolution.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

One track for ALL THE BOSSES AND IT SUCKS. and a good one after the "tutorial zone" and the ending.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Effects and voice acting sounds good, graphics are smooth and pretty, despite the obvious Souls style.
