I've never played Souls games, so I won't compare them. This game really surprised me with its world and its completeness, I thought that there would be vast voids in the locations, but at every step there is either a cave, or ruins with a chest, or an NPC hiding in the bushes, and the like. I play for two hours every day and, having played 80+ hours, I’m halfway through the game. The plot is quite difficult to understand, everything is hidden in the descriptions of the objects. The music is pleasant, although sometimes it disappears (maybe a bug, I don't know). In general, I recommend the game to everyone who likes open worlds, a little hardcore, nice graphics and an intricate, hidden plot.
