Just not for me. Just too much dying and repeating the same enemies over and over, while getting new gear that all plays super fun and different but basicially zero difference in feeling stronger or taking more hits. You still easily die to the most common idiot enemy and lose progress for leveling. Surely fun for everyone that loves a challenge and Soulslike, but I'm just overwhelmed

Game can be tough as nails, but once you get the hang of the combat it's an amazing and (mostly) fair experience. Game can be a "bit" (lot) grindy so you may or not like that aspect.
Progression is mission-based, maps are small and uninteresting, enemy variety could be better, but combat and co-op more than makes up for it.
Don't expect great story/writing or graphics, also, don't try to play it exactly like a souls game, it isn't one (despite it wrongly being called "souls-like"), at its peak it can be closer to a grounded DMC game due to its stance system, ki pulse, tons of cool weapons with several moves, and amazing fluidity.
