this is a very good game. negative conversations surrounding the souls series but particularly this game should be largely ignored. there's an incredible amount of charm and nuance to its systems and environments and overall a beautiful experience. its even better when played with friends via the seamless co-op mod. the notion (and wrong one) that you should play it entirely alone or with restrictions to make it more difficult should also be ignored. the "git gud" crowd is a tired and stupid one. play it in any fashion that you might enjoy but just play it (and the other titles as well.) when people say "this is the worst one" they're just parroting some other angry nerd. its an exhausted topic at this point with no real merit. its not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. play it and be enthralled by all it has to offer.

(85h ) It was a good game, but compared to Dark Souls 1, it lacked a top-tier story and boss fights (with the exception of the DLC, which featured excellent bosses). While the combat was smoother and improved, mechanics like ADP, rapid stamina depletion, and the reduction of max HP after every death were truly frustrating for me. The game's areas were beautiful—especially the three DLC zones, which were genuinely perfect. For personal reasons, it wasn't a game I really enjoyed; in my opinion, Dark Souls 1&3 are better.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
