Overall, Fromsoft has spoiled us rotten, I haven't even mentioned the gear, weapons and magic added that makes the game even more fun. Another unforgettable adventure by Fromsoft, a total victory.
The standout enemies for me were those freaks, the Lampreys, that suck you off when they paralyze you. They remind me of an enemy from Splatterhouse 3.
The npcs were unique and varied. I loved getting to know Miquella's crew, how they interacted with each other and me. I found myself growing fond of them as time passed, which made the whole showdown with them in the end that much more bitter and tragic.
Midra's Manse probably has the strongest visual in the game. As you're approaching it, corpses are lined up in front, setting the tone for what's to come. The manse looked completely claimed by the Abyssal Woods, as if part of the flora. I knew I had to explore its secrets.
The Cerulean Coast coast made up in beauty what it lacked in content, just a gorgeous place to explore, to see the vistas there was a reward in itself. Later however, I uncovered the Stone Coffin Fissure which made the area much richer in my eyes.
