Another thing is blocking, it gives 100% damage reduction in this game, unblockable moves will overlay a white or red glow over the enemy to give you ample time to react accordingly. To be specific, you'll want to figure out burst counters and ki pulsing from the get go, without these down you will die a lot, since the stamina system heavily punishes players who don't ki pulse. Until then, you are going to think the game is difficult and unfair. Once you get the hang of it, this game is the same level of difficulty as Dark Souls.

Gameplay wise, the only thing I'll say is that if you are coming from Dark Souls, as I was, you'll want to learn the game mechanics as the combat has essential features that aren't what you'll be used to. This isn't something to rate the game a 1 for when they literally designed the game, from top to bottom, with controller players in mind. Look at DS3, terrible keyboard controls until modders fixed it.

Games like this are never intended for keyboard controls, and most of the time that is fixed by modders soon after anyways. I have an Xbox elite controller and the controls have felt intuitive and fluid, better than 99.9% of games and I am not exaggerating, they nailed it. Performance wise, I have a 1070 GTX and my game is on an SSD, I've had no performance issues whatsoever and have kept a consistent 60 FPS graphics on high-looks exceptional to me on my 1440p 144hz monitor. The last game I had this much fun with was Bloodborne years back. I tend to agree with negative criticisms on here, but I am having an absolute blast with this game.
