Its getting better, but it has some annoying elements. Enemies throwing elemental cannisters at you that knocks you off ledges, some enemies almost impossible to dodge.
A coworker says its one of the best games he has played. Right now, Bloodborne is better but there is some cool features here, you can build weapons to suit your style, as in mixing different weapons together. He will probably like it.
Think it got 87 or 89 on Metacritics.
As for Lords of the Fallen, another guy I work with likes it very much. Cant compare it to the first one.
