This is the best open world game I've ever played; it combines all the good aspects of every great open world game of the last 15 years to make a breakthrough in the field. As for how the game ranks along side the previous Fromsoft titles, it's honestly lackluster in one major aspect. The level design that initially drew me into the studios games is all but faded to say the least, this was obviously a conscious decision as to make the game's map appear more open but in my opinion it seems like two steps back and one forward.
Overall though, it's a great game and I've had a blast playing it. I only wish to not see the strides made by the studio in past games to go to waste.
