It's really a matter of opinion. I personally loved it, it took me back to the days when videogames were a proper challenge, and being able to finally pull off a win against a troublesome boss was such an incredible feeling. It took alot of getting stuck and getting killed to actually get good at the game, but once I was competent enough I was able to get immersed in its atmosphere properly.

If you die, it's usually your own fault no matter how much people blame the game. But death isn't a setback or a reset, it's part of the game itself just as trying to stay alive is.

The online leaves alot to be desired due to a lack of interest by FROM in balancing the metagame, but helping other people take on bosses is still a good feeling.

So yeah, if you have a spare moment you should give it a go. It's best to go in as Blind as possible, but get help when you feel it's necessary.
