Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Incredible level design.
The whole world is connected and looping, wit shortcuts to the hub unlocked or discovered later in the game. Nothing compares to the satisfaction and relief of kicking a ladder down to an earlier checkpoint.
Pro The way the story is revealed.
Finnding bits of the story piece by piece will make you feel like a detective. There are twists and turns. You will always be asking: "What happened here?"
Pro Fun combat
The famous challenge of the series and the roll-and-hit combat is intense and rewarding.
Pro Beautiful architecture.
Once you reach a certain point in the game, you will feel true awe.
Pro Deep lore, interesting stories.
The whole premise of the game is actually a game mechanic. People are going hollow, (losing their memories and becoming violent.) Humanity is a literal object which temporarily prevents it. You are undead, so you come back to life again and again.
The bosses aren't just big scary enemies. They have stories. Sad ones, at that. I guarantee that at least one of them will make you cry.
