meaning the way the loot works seems like it would make the game easier. it looks like you don't have to engage with any of the deeper mechanics unless you want to and the actual depth of the game comes from speccing your character and getting good loots. i was watching the giant bomb quick look and jason's build was making the game look very easy. he was taking a lot of damage from being hit but he was also killing enemies by simply walking up and stun locking

my impression of the game as i see and play more of it is that it's less of a dark souls game and more ninja gaiden lite meets diablo. i think that's ok? i was expecting dark souls meets ninja gaiden
