Still doesn't have good enough performance.

Not being able to open the map in combat is super annoying Not sure why they don't make it to where you can look at it but do not have the option to teleport until you are out of combat. I think teleport at the bonfire was a much better system.

I guess it makes since because the map is too big. I honestly think the game would be a lot more successful if it was half the size. And that might not make perfect sense from a lore perspective or whatever but I think it would make the game seem less empty. Its just annoying to navigate and as I said earlier you constantly get kicked out of the map. And that leads to another problem I have with the game.

Which is enemies that are not worth your while. I would much rather have a group of hard enemies to fight as opposed to enemies that you instantly one shot. All the enemies in the open world are simply too easy to kill. It's boring and annoying to fight them. The most challenging thing about them is avoiding them so I can look at the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ map.

There are too many copy paste enemies I swear like every other boss in a cave or catacombs is a variation of a boss you have already fought. It just makes the game really dry if you want to explore a lot of the caves and the catacombs.

There are only 8 bosses in the entire game that are not copy paste or reused. Dark souls 3 has around 20 for comparison. Dark Souls easily has over 15. I JUST CANNOT WRAP MY HEAD AROUND WHY SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE THIS GAME FOR THIS EXACT REASON. Fighting the same boss over and over again is so incredibly boring to me. The variations of the same bosses have movesets so similar its just sad. The entire reason I like the souls games is because of the bosses because of the feeling you get after defeating them.

But what makes me most upset about this game is that people like it. People are ok with paying $60 to fight the same bosses over and over again. People are ok with the poor performance issues. People are ok with all the copy paste structures, catacombs, caves and enemies. People think that this game is just as hard as the other souls series. People think this is the best game in the souls series.

Summary: Quantity over quality. The way to play this game is to go boss to boss and do the NPC questlines. Exploring is not rewarding. It will get repetitive and boring.

Its a good game but it has a lot of flaws:

- Some areas are cancer for the sake of being cancer
It feels like these areas were only designed to make you tilt
Ex: Black Gultch, Iron Keep, Earthen Peak, Iron Passage

- ADP system is terrible
You can't make a good build at the beginning of the game. You have to throw a ton of points in ADP or you can't dodge anything regardless of skill. This means you can't use the weapons you want to use for a while into the game.
Skill shouldn't be something you level up

- Game is a lot slower to play vs DS1&3
You have to pull enemies constantly or else you will get ganked all at once
Healing is really slow
Stamina takes a while to regen
Movement is really bad

- Some of the bosses are really easy to beat
For some levels the only challenging part is getting through a really cancerous level which does not make the game rewarding. The boss should be the hardest part of the level, not 15 allone knights ganking me at once.

forklift

Very fun game.

Cons:
Very poorly optimized
Freezes
Crashing issues
Loading times are extremely long.
Character customization is almost not existent unless you buy the battle pass.
Weekly rewards are very bad or a variation of the previous weekly reward
Big team battle will cancel matchmaking or get stuck on the loading screen more than half the time you queue for it

Fun puzzle game.

Has competitive and meme value.
