sorted byIt's my first "soulslike"/Nioh game. The combat mechanics are top notch.
Most playstyles will centre's around building your special attack gauge via the "Soul shield" mechanic which is one of my favourite parry systems in any games I've played. You can also get suprisingly creative with your combos, especially if you get the hang of changing jobs partway through
The game has a fleshed out tutorial mode, and also makes an effort to explain some of its more esoteric and almost exploit-looking mechanics (like chain cancelling).
Enemy encounters need to be approached carefully like a 3D Ninja Gaiden, Dark Souls, or Nioh game rather than a Devil May Cry or other action based final fantasy games.
The DLCs ramp up the difficulty considerably, but there's usually a clever solution to squeeze through. The game can become min-maxer hell if you spend too long on DLC 2. And DLC 3 ties the story up nicely (but you'll probably start it quite overleved if you tried unlocking everything DLC 2 had to offer). There's also a pretty active community on Reddit and Youtube with guides on how to make crazy late game builds as well as getting to better grips with the early game mechanics, but the game can be beatwn without this help.
