Here is a translation of the review if you really want to read the whole thing:
In summary, because in the main game, the exceptional aspects overshadow the shortcoming, so it’s ignored and tolerated, but now the good isn’t as potent. Don't blame me for breaking down the game’s genre and price bit by bit.
1, music, is there music that leaves an impression on the mind? There isn’t right? So a 6, 7, passing grade.
2, graphics. Fromsoft’s graphic and optimization has always been their trouble spot, as always dirty, grey, murky, unrefined and laggy, giving you a 7 this time [is me being generous] *{count as high}
3, level design. The map is yet empty, item placement lacks game related meaning: running around a map where trash mobs can kill you in 2 hits, just for a low level smithing stone? Is there meaning in that? The aspect of looking at item descriptions to think about relations with the plot is far worse compared to the main game and previous works, it’s all been placed, it’s easy to understand. A 5, no more than that.
4, story and performance. It’s all the same shtick over and over again, if the producer wants to have more idea, they need to go out and “find inspiration”
5, game play, the mobs and the bosses have an abnormal discrepant design, some bosses are [so easy they don’t even feel like they exist] *{like a pure transparent thing} and you can beat them in 1 try
some bosses some can stuck you for 5 hours (Radahn), in the end, forcing people to use a [brain dead] *{wheel chair} build, and [ignoring the bosses attacks and just dps race it down] *{the bosses fight their fight and the I fight my fight}, is there still the fun of using your wits and might to fight giants the boss? Is there a feeling of achievement? I beat Radahn [with the orthodox rEaL sOuls GamEr meThoD] *{rolling} but that only quenched my hate, his moves have no intricacy after all, just big movement, fast combos, high numbers and big damage. For that, all I can say is [if the numbers are so inflated, isn’t our only method of combating it is using bigger numbers?] *{the numbers problem forces us to use numbers to solve it?}

The gameplay is the most important, now a lot of people think the game is ‘not fun’, if a game is not fun, aren’t the original overshadowed shortcomings all exposed?

note* some Chinese are hard to translate and understand in English, so I will take some liberty to translate the meanings instead of their literal wording to make sense, indicated by the [] square brackets, the exact wording will be followed by an * and a {}, the *() are additional contexts that need to be added to the sentence in order for them to make sense
