The game is pretty much like Dark Souls after you get the lordvessel. You have three bosses to beat before you can face the final boss and a few minibosses here and there. Fallgrin acts like a hub between the three areas. Fallgrin however is no Lordran. There are shortcuts yes but the whole area is pretty confusing. The combat feels good and fair. You dont have the customisation like Dark Souls. Instead you can choose between different Shells with different stats. You can switch Shells at your hub so you can choose different Shells for different scenarios. Once in a Shell you basically have a two life system like Sekiro. If you die once you can run back to your Shell and get full health. You also have a hardening mecanic. Which freezes you until you let it go or takes a hit. You dont have any healing items like Estus. Instead you use mushrooms or other items you find. You can also get health back by succesfully make a riposte and counter. The difficulty is pretty good in the beginning but once you start to upgrade your equipment and characters you pretty much becomes a God. Even if you can choose which order you play the game. The areas are clearly meant to be played a certain order. I chose wrong and the second area I went through was clearly meant to be the first. The bosses are hit or miss. I liked Tarsus and the last boss but the others were pretty weak imo. I finished the game in about 12 hours so its pretty short. All in all I would recommend this for everyone who likes soulslikes. You wont die many times but its a pretty good chill game for fans of Dark Souls
