Played the opening section yesterday. It was good but a bit slow, as others have said. It takes the game quite a long time to open up. Also once it does open up there is a shrine very close by that will chuck you into another story section. I am liking it so far though and obviously the visuals are incredible.
I will say that I’ve figured out what I don’t like about this modern souls-eques combat style, which is so prevalent in games these days. The whole thing is just reactionary, you’re constantly on the defensive, waiting for small windows to attack, you never get the chance to go on the offensive. You are stuck constantly reacting and you rarely get to choose how the fight is going to play out.
