I am a big fan of souls games but this game wasn't as enjoyable as the others. I've completed it so my opinion is final and won't change. I will try to explain why.
I think that combat system is good in concept but has flaws. And since game focuses on combat generally it is really deep and main problem.
For example, I've never noticed any difference after obtaining and upgrading character via memories or prayer beads, all Boss Fights are cool visually but with every fight you face it becomes boring deflect show, I mean how my enhancing attack power even does anything if every hit i land on enemy does exactly the same hp damage ( a little bit more than none). And the same thing with your vitality and posture, upgrades feel just useless, all bosses have pretty much same damage to your vitality and posture. And if at first I enjoyed boss fights, the more i played the more boring fights felt. You don't feel any progress in your character. I mean, it would be just be logical if there won't be "enhances" at all. They don't change ♥♥♥♥.
