I wish I was good at games like this and Transformers: Devastation, Metal Gear Rising and other tough games, but I don't have the patience/time to git gud.
At least I'm honest with myself!

I’m considering restarting and going with the four endings in order of difficulty. Both Demon of Hatred and Isshin are beginning to annoy me now. I hadn’t had too much difficulty up until now, but I seem to have hit a wall. I find that with both fights, if you make one mistake, it’s basically all over as it’s too hard to get back into it. The demon isn’t actually that hard; it’s more the length of the fight. It’s hard to keep concentration for long enough to use the whistle. Isshin is just plain unfair. I think if I could get to the last phase, I could use the lightning counter and it’d be easy. I can’t get to the last phase though. I locked myself out of getting the mask too, so I can’t boost my stats any further.
If if I don’t win today, I’ll have no other choice but to admit defeat methinks.Kept you waiting, huh?

On the other hand, I do like the game a lot. I've almost completed NG, and intend on doing at least one run of NG+, just so I can make save states at all the main bosses so I can play any of them whenever I like in future. I do think the game has some structural issues though. I think the lack of co-op especially is going to hurt its long-term appeal. I'd love to be able to jump into other people's games to help them slay bosses. NG+ cycles could also benefit from the Dark Souls 2 treatment. As it stands, there's not much difference between NG cycles. Will be interesting to see if this game gets any significant patches or DLCs. It would be easy for them to add DLC using additional bell memories. To be honest though, I think I'd rather they focus fully on the next game.

I’ll offer some tips if I can.
I found him a struggle but once I figured some things out it wasn’t too bad. You’re right too, the final form is easy. As soon as you get in on him his next move most of the time is his lightning attack which can be easily countered. I did the final form on my 2nd attempt.

You remember that feeling next time you cuss me out for playing something on easy setting or glitching my way to victory!

As one of the finest gamers around, I expect to breeze through this. I can't see myself dying at all. Or even getting hit.
Joking aside, I've enjoyed reading all these impressions, so much so I've just ordered the game. I still regularly enjoy Dark Souls III and Bloodborne so can't wait to savour it for myself.

I’ve ran through it in a day. Starting again was the best thing I could do. It also helped me read bosses better. I’ve been playing as though I’m still as high-levelled as I was before. The aggression goes a long way. Stay on top of everyone and smash them until they die is the way forward.
What a fantastic game this is.Kept you waiting, huh?
