The game is most definitely riddled with issues and bugs that weren't/aren't present in the other souls games. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun playing it. It has its positives in its own merit. If you are new to the series this should not be the first one you play.

Unfortunately, however, the servers have been down for months and it looks like they will continue to be down. I will still recommend this game though!
