Absolutely incredible game that has jumped to my GOTY spot. Unlike other games that use Soulslike elements cheaply, this one blends them effortlesly with its own elements. It feels like a cross between Returnal and a Souls title with some of the best parts of Destiny thrown in, but not in a way that's redundant or poorly imitating but because they nailed some of their best qualities simply via great design.
Engaging combat, satisfying and rewarding exploration (this cannot be stated enough, the exploration here is sublime!), tonnes of great loot, cleverly made and intuitive puzzles, secrets, great bosses (some very creative). Looks great maxed out on PC. music is often subdued but usually atmospheric and often quite beautiful.
Only real downside is the story, it's not super engaging. The lore and world building is very cool, though.
Also, this shares a lot of dna with live service shooter games, but none of the ****. No MTX, no battle pass, no seasonal content with FOMO attached, and can be played entirely offline. Instead of milking for money in lots of little ways, they've filled the game to the brim with stuff to find via gameplay and... if anything, that should be applauded.
The classes, builds, weapons, etc... are all really well done, too. The dual class (Archetypes) along with the rings/relics/mods allow you to really fine tune a build and provide a lot of variety in ways to approach.
Lastley, the game is very fun in both solo and co-op play. I've played mostly solo but every now and then I jump into co-op for a couple of hours just because it's super fun.
A truly fantastic game with tonnes of content and a great overall design philosphy.
10/10.

It's a polished, impressive game but not for me. There is a boss called Labyrinth Sentinel that provokes the standard "git gud" conversation, legitimately so in some ways, but it's the purest definition of "unfun" I have ever experienced in a game. Uninstalled, not looking back. Give me any Souls-like of any difficulty over this.

Mostly empty, soul-less clone of first game. I did research all levels and found 0 armor, Only one option that I would have to farm, probably long (blood moon event). Performance is terrible for a RX 6900XT and r5 x5600, graphics are terrible. Bosses are sometimes good and creative. That's all
