I can agree with the vast majority of the review except the insistance of difficulty levels. There are ways to combat difficulty, especially in Fromsoft games, via crafting/finding weapons, items ect, or other gameplay means, that will aid with the difficulty of the game. Sometimes to do so means more than one playthrough. May I ask, in your review of the game did you explore ways to make the game easier by tweeking your build to take advantage of particular buffs? Does this game offer that kind of depth? It's certainly a trait on all Fromsoft games which is why I don't accept qhem people say it should have difficulty levels, because it has it built into the game mechanics. If you've explored this in your review and that isn't the case then I can understand why you say it, but from reading what you've written I'm not getting that impression. I'd like to know as it's quite an important detail and may deter me from playing the game.

I did try and play with as many of the tools the game offers you as possible and while having the right loadout and approach certainly helps, I don't think it has the same impact as it does in, say, Dark Souls. For example, I was playing with what would be, in Bloodborne terms, a Strength/Arcane build. Having the right kind of elemental damage for enemies made a big impact to my damage output, but it didn't makes things significantly easier the way a similar build would in Bloodborne. And most of the problem areas weren't even the big, end of region bosses, but a combination of poor design and unfair timings on elite enemies and such.
