The ultimate sacrifice?

Following his departure from Konami in 2014, former Castlevania series producer Koji "IGA" Igarashi would have required superhuman powers of...

i shall bless this mess with a patented post.
vampire killer extraordinaire!
the dean of whipping!
the master of wall meat and total castle exploration percentage!
its...ogo79!
Here's hoping this will be good.
Must buy from me. I'm a serious rpg freak.
I can promise everyone that its good after playing it.
After a long wait, I finally bought Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. I am playing it now for about 24h+ in the game clock. I'm loving it! At first I heard news of the game being so bad, and I believed the story as most people will say the same. Then with the new big patch with lots of improvement (as stated by Koji) coming along, I decided to buy it and apply the patch before playing. So far I have only encountered 2 crashes which force close the game. So here's my two cents:
Pros:
1. The Equipment, alchemy and shard system are really making it state of the art of Castlevania games, as promised!
2. The map is so friggin' huge!
3. There's side quests now!
4. Loving the different animation for different weapons!
5. Wonderful soundtrack with Castlevania soul!
6. The Japanese voice is just wonderful!
7. Wonderful Castlevania story
Cons:
1. Some part of the map will require quite a long time to load (approx. 30s), and sometimes it breaks my playing mood a bit (you jump up to a new screen, loading for 30s, you have already depressed jump button, so you'll fall back to the previous screen, loading another 30s)
2. The characters models are rough
So my verdict is 8/10. If they take things slowly and improve this game, it could have been 10/10
