I wanted to add some of my impressions:

-first of all i agree with what some of the devs have said here, i use the dodge and hiding behind trees and rocks strategy very often and it makes it seem pretty tactical.

-second of all i just wanted to highlight one thing that really stood out to me, and that was approaching the maxos temple. what an awe inspiring sight combined with the music. rarely in a video game am i sort of overwhelmed by big structures but that one is very cool. it made me feel very small and sort of reminded me of the feeling when in indiana jones 3 they approach the rock cut temple at the end.

the only big negatives i can think of are:
-when choosing reward, buying item you can not compare it to what you have equipped currently
-you can not add comments to the map which i find very strange because you can add your own markers and you were able to do it in dd.
