This game has superb character. I absolutely loved how each world had their own unique
lore. The game feeds you info through optional NPC dialogues and the lore of each world fills in the rest. That focused lore, and attention to detail in each world is absolutely amazing.
The combat is satisfying and inching through each world step by step is very satisfying. I've played as a magic focused character and I must admit it was a bit too easy. You can cast any spell unlimited times, and you have a separate Mana gauge bar. And if you start with the Royal class, you start with a ring that re-generates (slowly) that mana bar. Though you won't need it much as there is plenty of Old/Fresh Spice to go around (fills MP bar).
This meant I could get through all bosses pretty easily, with death counts barely in the double digit count. There was one area where you were fighting against ground and a lot of air enemies at the same time that gave me trouble, but other than that - Magic is the master of this universe!
That's not to say I was running around one shooting everyone, you still have to think about your enemy, where you are, what's around you. The game makes sure you are processing a lot of elements during a fight, whatever your style and this always keeps the game fresh.
This was a great game, and I look forward to moving forward in the Souls series.
UPDATE:
Original write of review, in that build I was using magic and the game felt too easy / brainless but doing platinum run (Platinum achieved
So I like to give this game an exceptional 10/10!!
