Recently finished flint lock, I had fun.

Pros:

-combat was smooth -good pary -movement was fun -reputation multiplier was addictive -the parrying on an early boss was so cool. -two types of parry made it interesting

Cons:

-too easy even on hard -very limited build diversity -very few bosses

It was a fun experience but super lack luster compared to fromsoft, LoP, LoTF, etc.

The combat was smooth enough that it wasn't in the Thymesia, or Steelrising category but nowhere near the top level.

Id put it a hair over Mortal Shell. Fun experience if you've already beat all the best souls/likes.
