FromSoft's crowning achievement is finally complete! They took all the best parts of the Soul games, Bloodborne and Sekiro and none of the bad parts and packaged it all into the best open world game since Breath of the Wild. However it goes far beyond BotW and surpasses it just by having the world map being ridiculously dense with things to find from castles and forts to ruins and catacombs there's always at least one item to find in each of these locations and even if it's something your build can't use it always feels worthwhile to explore the area to gain more runes and consumables to help you level up along the way to help you survive your next encounter.

The platinum is fairly straight forward although it requires some save manipulation at the end to get all the endings. Basically by just beating all the main story and optional bosses related to sidequests and collecting the legendary versions of all weapons, spells, talismans and ashen remains you'll have it. By completing the requirements for the 3 different endings you can back up your save after defeating the final boss and just reload it to get all 3 by picking the ending you want. It's all pretty simple as long as you're aware of what to do. Otherwise you're going to have to do a full separate playthrough to get one of the other endings.

Final time was around 131 hours and my character level was 180 to give you an idea of how much time you'll be spending with it. This was with going with a pretty busted Intelligence setup that used the sword that shoots out kamehamehas and using the mimic summon for any fights that ended up taking too long. If you're trying to do it all one on one (which a lot of the boss fights aren't designed for anyway) then it'll probably take you a bit longer.

Glad I finished just in time to jump right into another Soulslike when Stranger of Paradise releases at the end of the week :O

Jeez.

Guess who!

Though I'll say that running through NG+ is pretty quick.
