The lovely scenery and fitting soundtrack suck you in. Conclusion: It's a truly beautiful game, making it a must-play. So sometimes if you are stuck it's not a shame to look up a gamer's guide and find inspiration how to move on. As you progress you will learn more and more about the lore. Because there is acutally no "real" story you don't know where to go first and what's even going on. You yourself have to discover the whole huge map alone. It won't take you by the hand and guide you. But to be honest this game isn't perfect. The game never gets boring because you learn a variety of skills and new moves and are confronted with different types of enemies. So in short, yes some parts are very frustrating but also rewarding because you are forced to get better and better and actually feel the progress and the hard work you put in.

But as free extra content it's something for ultra hard core fans who want the most extreme challenge after they have sunk their 30 hours into the main game. It also feels out of place changing the style of the game completely just being a near endless boss rush. The free additional content steps the challenge up a bit and the ultra end game god DLC is a tedious slog that most players will find to hard to be worth it. The controls are tight and responsive making it a joy to play. There are a decent number of powerful builds and you'll find yourself changing skills around to experiment often as you progress. On a second playthrough you'll have completely different moves at different times because you've discovered hidden entrances to zones.
