I gotta say my experience so far with this game has been great. I love the dark souls feel to it. (if you say this game isn't like dark souls then you have issues) You kill enemies, obtain haze similar to dark souls/bloodborne/the surge, and you use said stuff to level up your characters, enhance equipment, unlock new gifts and so on. If you die while carrying haze you will have one life left to re-obtain them and if you die again they will be lost forever. they did however add a feature into the game to where if you died and dropped them you can return to your base/safe house and use the hot springs to obtain half of the haze you lost but will lose the other half forever if the area was to hard to fight your way back to.

The companion system is nice being able to use an npc to fight with you but i feel they need to be updated badly as they tend to get in the way, attempt to run up on bosses a lot risking everything just to end up dead in the end or you can use half your health to revive them only to get struck down just to watch your ally use all but 1 hp to bring you back just to watch them die again on a revive cool-down timer causing them to die permanently (until you reach a safe point) because you couldn't bring them back...

Also please allow a second customizable character to be used as an npc so we can level them up and gear them the way we want for support/offense/defense or whatever you would like them to be.

If you're a fan of anime and like the style of dark souls then look no further you weebs.

To sum up my review i do recommend this game as it is fun and the character customization is fantastic and the story is decent along with the soundtrack featured.
