That makes it way less appealing to me. I know bosses are a core part of this kind of game but I don't want the whole thing to basically be a boss rush mode. Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 4,198 Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 The ign reviewer said he found it to be harder than Shadow of the Erdtree which is kind of crazy based on what i've heard of that game. Link to post Share on other sites
