I tried playing this game just to play the "GAME OF THE YEAR"... Thank GOD I didn't buy it...
It is just a better version of Dark Souls with a story in the background and, I have to admit, beautiful cutscenes...
But when it comes to gameplay, if you ever played Witcher III or Assassins Creed Origins or Odyssey, then this game can't beat the games above... So It may be good enough for a Dark Souls lover but not for others.
There are better games out there than this one.
