Enotria: The Last Song Demo Impressions (midwest.social)

Has anyone played the Enotria demo? I played about 15 minutes, getting just outside the tutorial area. I've been playing Elden Ring a lot lately and...Enotria just feels bad to play. Credit to the developers for the interesting setting and concept (masks and loudouts), but it's frustrating that it's such a direct copy of the FromSoftware formula. The combat mechanics, UI, enemy behavior, sound design, and level design are so egregiously imitative that its comparative shortcomings in all those areas are hyper-noticeable.

I haven't played many non-FromSoftware soulslikes like Lies of P or Steelrising (or even, candidly, most of the actual Souls games - just BloodBorne, Demon's Souls Remake, and Elden Ring), but I'd hope they were more taking inspiration and doing something meaningfully different that you can't get from a brand-name Souls game, rather than settling for what feels like a Kidz Bop version of the real deal.
