    Depends. Are you skilled in this genre? Can’t say that i am, so my experience has limitations.

    If you like this stuff, the game does make use of weight, poise, blocking, dodging and rolls. Does it make use of them well? I don’t know if it’s my lack of ability or the game’s own issues, but it can feel clunky at times. Some dodges and rolls weren’t working when i was expecting them to.
    Still, I have yet to rage quit and will keep playing, at least for a while longer.

      I would say I’m medium skilled in the genre. I’ve beaten the Dark Souls games and Elden Ring and also played some 2D Soulslikes, most recently Mandragora and Blasphemous. I like the Soulslike aspect more than the platforming, which I hate. So I stayed away form Hollow Knight for example.

        So far, the platforming has been on the lesser side, however the maps seem somewhat large. There’s a chance it could pick up later on. I do think that the soulslike is the primary gameplay component though.
