8/10 gameplay a bit janky but abilities can be really fun and satisfying when executed properly and the story is just something unique definitely worth to get during a sale!

This was a quick 100%, and I'm going to recommend it because I really like the characters and a lot of ideas in this game, from story to world building it's fantastic. The boss fights are also very fun. HOWEVER.
Be prepared for a rather frustrating experience. During my 4 runs of this game, I came across a ton of bugs. Anything from softlocking to insta death inside an elevator because it felt like it. Also this game really likes to throw bs your way. From having many enemies near ledges that can simply push you off, to 5 traps in a room with 5 very strong enemies ready to screw you up. And by far the worst aspect of this game, the dungeon design.
The cathedral of blood is just 101 on how not to make a fucking dungeon. You have like idk 5 overlayed floors that go all over the damn place. The map does not help you because it's unreadable from how the dungeon is made. It is also way too long for its own good. Some of the other dungeons have similar problems.
Multiplayer seems to be dead unfortunately, I spent like 2 hours trying to find someone to play, and I couldn't find any match. Only occassionally would one match pop up, and it would be very unstable. It's likely that you'll be disconnected mid boss fight.
Don't buy the DLC for this game separately, just buy the deluxe edition. The DLC is super short. You can finish everything in like 20 minutes, but the 3 boss fights are very fun.
ANYWAY, Eva my beloved. Buy the game for her, that's all.

Game does not launch properly on Windows 11 (takes about 7 minutes, NOT JOKING) check the community hub, then when you do get in you can't play multiplayer or your game freezes. Unplayable on new systems. BUYER BEWARE

Even with the huge amount of negative reviews and bad stuff Bandai Namco did, i still enjoyed this Anime Dark Souls like game alot. The OST is really good, the map designs leaves little to desire, the reskins and map revamps is little effort, the story feels non-indepth to immerse the player in whats going on and happening, but with all those negatives i still recommend the game cause coming from a casual player that just turned 40 years old the game isnt that punishing or hard like the actual Dark Souls games or Elden Ring.
Alot of backtracking and grinding maybe even looking up guides to get the multiple endings (Currently still progressing in the game) Other then that i still very much like the game alot and the music. The story is really saddening cause of the trials and tribulations and loss of friends, family and potential love interests but i still say give the game a whirl and the customizations are so cool especially youtube tutorials to bring to life your favorite anime husbando or waifu!!!

this is gotta be one of the best game I've ever purchased...
I've always been an anime fan (even though it's not as much now since I've grown up), but it's really cool to see this kind of style on soulsborne games. ACTUALLYI DIDN'T THINK I WOULD FIND THIS GAME EITHER. ALSO!! this is by far the one who got me into this type of game mechanics (yes I died MORE than 30 times on the 2nd boss). but somehow, I actually managed to pass and complete the game. everything about this game is so well made, LIKEEE ALL THE SCENES, THE BACKSTORIES, THE PLOT EVEN THE CHARACTERS!!
THE AVATAR CUSTOMIZATION IS EVERYTHING!!! I swear, it's gotta be the true final boss of the game. I spent over 2 hours making my character cause I really want bro to look good during cutscenes. RESULT?? IT'S ALL WORTH ITTTT. he's majestic, gorgeous, and beautiful.... everything in combined omg.
THE DETAILS ARE AWESOMEEEE I'M LITERALLY IN LOVE I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW I'M FEELING RN.
also bro hear me out on louis BROOOOOOO from the moment I met him until the end of the game, he's literally my partner FOR EVERYTHING (I only switched to other partners 2-3 times just to test out). I been high over heels for him it's NOT OKAY I MIGHT AS WELL SEEK THERAPY OKAY BUT JUST HEAR ME OUTTTT.
peak game, straight out 10/10 Y'ALL I WISH I COULD GIVE MORE RATINGS AAAAAAA.

best rpg ever i love it sm!!! the character customization is so fun and detailed, allows you to move accessories to different places, and you can adjust them so that they do what you want!!! i made my girlie a beautiful pierced up porcelain doll and shes gorgeous. also the game and story is immaculate, the maps are beautiful, enemies are fun to fight, building your character to be actually good is complicated and time-consuming, which i love. the bosses have super cool designs and the way that they have story to them is beautiful, each character is well-thought out and their backstories tend to be heartbreaking. while at first it seemed like a chill vampire-y rpg, i learned quick enough that it can be pretty emotional. i love code vein!!!
