This is great news and a solid write-up. I love the Souls games, but I too was always a little annoyed by the purposefully time-wasting punishment involved in failure.

I guess I’ll leave it on my wishlist and, as always, wait for the first patch or two and a sale. If more reviews come in like this, I may just sprint for it regardless - which was worth it for Elden Ring by a long shot.
