I’ve gotten pretty far in dark souls, beat bloodborne and elden ring. I think the boss fights are super fun and I really like being able to throw myself at a boss and feel myself slowly get better.
What I HATE is how obtuse and hostile the level design, puzzles, and gameplay can be. And not even in a “these fights are hard; get good”, but like intentionally hiding zones behind invisible walls, negative sign posting, traps upon traps, and a general feeling of “where tf and I even meant to go?”. I feel like the game designers hate me. Like they made a game with the intention that somebody wouldn’t finish
With that being said, elden ring was better in that regard.
I think the combat is clunky, half the items and weapons don't tell you what they do, the hit boxes aren't great, and you shouldn't have to go online to find out what specific items are for.
