Thanks god it isn’t as high as Dark Souls, at least for now (It’s still possible I give up in the game in the last 1/3 if there is a ramp up in difficulty). Now, after all that, I have to talk of the difficulty. The plaltforming itself is also very solid. The setting, the atmosphere, it’s superb, of course, but that’s not news at this point. Oh, and I hate how you can’t write stuff in the map, so I have to check every unexplored part every time I gain a new movement ability, because I can’t remember what type of hindrance was in each. Sometimes it feels like busy work, not like something interesting to do. The truth is, the game drinks a bit too much of its own koolaid and sometimes it’s a bother not having a map of an area, or having to use one equipment point for basic stuff like seeing your position on the map, or having to cross one region and a half to go back to the nearest quick travel point, or having back to the last death to recover souls. 12,5 hours played, I think I explored 6 regions, and have two more opened.
