This game is good, but its not DS series good, at least not for me. Way too much twitch in it and the controls are not as clean (even compared to BB). But the esthetic is perfect and the weapon types are nicely balanced for what they are doing. I understand a lot of people like the twitch thing more, especially vets of the NG series, though. Biggest flaws, aside from the twitchy gameplay are being slaved to the RNG for gear drops, linear design, the cancerous inventory system, and the lack of playstyle diversity (once you master using your preferred weapon, you really don't need to touch another). Biggest strengths are the atmosphere, stances, well balanced stat progression, and smooth difficulty curve (better than in most souls games).
Edit- Just so we are clear, this is likely GOTY (unless Last of Us 2 comes out) and saying its not as good as Souls is not a criticism in the slightest. Being nearly as good as DS series games makes it one of the better games ever made, and 60fps on the pro definitely helps.
