I feel Sanctuary was much bigger (or maybe more confusing and easy to get lost in). Salt and Sanctuary feels like what the world might be like after salt and sacrifice (I haven't beat it yet, just got to copse). Unfortunately Salt and sacrifice’s problem is that it has a ton of decisions like this and so many years later (during which time the genre has progressed) and without an ambitious change in the underlying game with some core quality that elevates it above other current 2d soulslikes to ignore those faults. If the biggest issue someone has is that the vibe of the world isn’t the same (not an issue for me at all), maybe a different series would’ve been taken differently, but that’s not most peoples problem.īloodborne being a different series doesn’t excuse bloodvials (which fromsoft even acquiesced on with the dlc bloodvial mob lol) and sekiro didn’t excuse dragonrot. It doesn’t matter if it’s a sequel or a separate series, it’s getting a lot of criticism because a lot of the design decisions seem like regressions compared to the design of their last game. And while that franchise is my favorite, I honestly don’t think that order would be received well, cause demons souls is fine with nostalgia and being the start of a franchise but it’s shit as a follow up and not a first try
This would be like if fromsoft released demons souls after dark souls. I noticed a comment comparing this to DS2, and honestly that’s way too to generous (and also rude to DS2). To preface this: I binged and beat the game, I like the genre enough that I had fun but I wouldn’t recommend the game.
