As someone who has played every "from soulsborne" made in the past ten years or so, i agree with all of your criticisms.

souls games are designed to reward players already in the know- they reward mastery and familiarity. that makes them vague, unfair, and frankly bullshit to new players. it's just a stylistic/game design choice that many people enjoy.

you're supposed to feel at a loss, and ask your friends (ideally. more realistically for some, the internet) what the hell you're supposed to do and what the tricks are.

if you really know your shit, blitzing through the sections between bosses will be no problem for you, and it'll be kind of like a boss rush mode. you might enjoy the randomly generated labyrinth mode, or whatever it's called.

the subtle lore is a crock of shit. it's not a plot or story. it's kind of an interesting backdrop, but i still think it's messed up to not even understand the basic motivations of the character you're playing as, other than 'i am in a video game and want to progress'. but that's not what the game's about, really

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
