I fully disagree, it's mediocre. It looks good in comparison to everything we get now because the game industry does nothing but produce a pile of shit. Even if From and Kadokawa aren't openly hostile or spiteful towards their audience and doesn't spit in your face doesn't make it a good game. Especially in comparison to From's previous works, it's thoroughly mediocre.
I think a lot of the issues are with it being an open world. I know towards the end I just wanted to get done with it and haphazardly ran through a bunch of dungeons and basically the entire snowy area minus the castle in it. I never felt that way in all three DS games and Demon Souls doesn’t let you do that strategy.
That's because they broke a working game design to shove it into an open world. Miyazaki is probably the best level designer alive, and what does he do, creates a game with no fucking levels.
