Although I was sceptical of an open world Soulsborne game, this game is just too good. I really recommend the game and it's one of the best games I've ever played, but I won't tell the reasons why I love this game. Instead, here are some criticism (mostly comparisons to DS3):
> Covenant system from Souls games is gone. I really liked the multiplayer covenants in Souls games. In this game they simplified it and now you for example can invade and help at the same time without pledging to a covenant, but I think that simplification was for the worse.
> The opening cinematic was good, but it was too slow and hard to understand for someone who just started the game. It only makes sense after you put some time into the game, and by then you just forget about the cinematic.
> No mimics :( (the chests that teleport you aren't as fun as Dark Souls mimics)
> Dogs
> Fighting while mounted is boring
> RTX they added runs fine for me but I don't think it changes much, or maybe it's me who has problems seeing.
> Performance-wise, I have a R5 5500U + RTX 3050 + 8GB RAM PC, and maximum settings seem to run better than my expectation (20-30 FPS normally, 30-40 FPS after I did some optimization), but I can't achieve 60 FPS even on minimum settings. Weird.
> Sometimes it crashes on loading screens randomly, have no idea why.

Regardless of these, buy the game.
