PRECURSOR: I 100%-ed this game on PS4, my hours on record are not a representation of my comprehension of this game.

I hate to say it, but the way the game was left is currently hot garbage. This game "released" out of early access after the BRUTAL update. The last update WAS the BRUTAL update. There is SOOO much wasted potential here; the art style is very distinct and rather intriguing, the gameplay is box standard Dark Souls with enough variations and simplifications to either cater to a hardcore Souls player or satisfy a non-Souls gamer, and the lore and atmosphere surrounding the world is interesting enough to warrant a single complete run of the game, mind you that unless you die a lot for no reason, it's a VERY short game. I played this game by myself on another platform and was having a great time, but when I went to find any new information on this game, I was led to a discord for people desperately seeking to play on PC. The Hare Brained Schemes Twitter account, last updated around June 2018, is currently encouraging "People of all ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, cultures, ethnicities, religions, ...women, minorities, and LGBTQ community members to apply" without mentioning any level of professionalism required, so they must be seeking new team members by pandering to the internet.

In conclusion [TL;DR], this game is incomplete. Purchasing in order to help NAMCO finish it probably won't help.
