I can't recommend this game if you are looking for a coop experience, since progress only happens for the host (the guest will not even get drops from chests).
I can recommend it (on sale) if you are playing solo. As usual, with caveats:
- The performance is still somewhat bad. You get enough settings to tweak to make it work, but it's still an "early UE5" title.
- The difficulty goes from "very enjoyable" to "I'm not playing this game again" really abruptly sometimes. There are ways to cheese if you don't mind that, however.
- Game has a small playerbase by now, so if you are getting invaded, it's probably a playstation kid playing on his neighbors wi-fi, be aware that it will be a lagfest.
- Unfortunately the devs decided that npc quests should be as frustrating as possible, so looking them up on a wiki is mandatory.
- Accessorizing in this game is very shallow. One trinket slot and two rings, neither do all that much.

If you don't mind the above, then you will find that it's a good take on souls formula, with cool interconnected levels and... well that's it, really. It's not a groundbreaking title, but should serve as a solid foundation for their next game, if they learn their lessons this time.
