My first Souls-like
For a long time, I had a lot of problems with combat and died many, many times. Eventually I caught wind on how to fight, and the game became better do-able. You need to move a lot, and primarily avoid getting hit! The atmosphere is really grim (which is fitting), and the combat is cool. Despite the fairly short gameplay, I think that there is a bit too much walking in the game (Eternal Narthex area especially!), and a map would not be a luxury. I've beat the game multiple times. The hardening mechanic can no longer be exploited after you've beat the game, because you start losing health if you're hit while hardened. Despite many frustrations because of me dying, I think it's a cool game. There is replayability, but that wears off after completing the game 7 times. Btw: the Martyr was my first boss! The only thing I would really like to add is that I would have liked better instructions on what to do etc. Took some time to find out how to become 'good' at the game.
