I bought this on sale for little more than a dollar, and it was a waste of money.

This game learned all the wrong lessons from Dark Souls 2. You don't penalise player death by lowering the player's attributes, thus making the game even harder. This game design was already outdated in 2012, which is why Fromsoft NEVER revisited that idea. Dark Souls 3 released in 2016, 3 years before this game, and was received much better because it learned the right lessons from Dark Souls 2. Decay of Logos somehow managed to repeat a mistake the industry had already recovered from. Absolutely do not recommend. The only reason I'm not refunding this game is because I got it for 90% off, which is the most anyone should ever pay for this, just to see the bad design for themselves.

I wanted to like the game, and its not horrible but its also not fun. The combat isn't fun and doesn't feel good, your attacks either use too much stamina or don't do enough damage parrying always uses a lot of stamina so just by parrying your losing a few hits. Some enemies like the slugs are awful and can stunlock you to death if your not careful. The horse (its actually an elk but easier to just call a horse) isn't really worth using its not fast and its stressed just by being used and if it becomes too stressed you either have to wait a long time or use berries to calm it which the game does give quite a bit of but again the horse is debatable slower than just running and awkward to control. Fall damage is also insane you can fall like 5 feet and take 25-50% of your hp and you cant just heal that back up unless you are at a campsite which isnt always the case as it has campsites and shires both respawn points but shires seem just useless maybe they gain a point later but from what I played they did nothing. The one Big positive this game has going for it is the enemy and creature designs a lot of the creatures are cool looking for example your horse (elk) is really cool looking, the first enemy you'll encounter will likely be a turnip monster which I think actually looks kinda cool, even the bees have a unique cool look to them but thats really the only thing going for this game.
