All of the other games up until now were great. This one though, I've given up on the third boss. It's way too hard, or maybe I'm just not using the right covenant. I thought the crystals nerf was a little too extreme. I had a really hard time with the first boss but, as there was a save right before, it was bearable. Now the second boss was a pain in the ass because each time I lost, I had to fight the first boss again, which mildly stressed me out.

I get the need for a challenge some players must feel, which totally justifies the boss difficulty option, but even with it at 50%, it didn't work for me. I enjoy playing these games for the journey and story. It's not fun when I have to fight the same boss a bunch of times in hopes I wouldn't get petrified or until I figure out the right combination of attacks or strategy.
