Does anyone know if the game is true co-op or janky souls co-op? Always felt other games did co-op better, like Nioh 2. And the way Salt & Sanctuary did local co-op was nice, but is the online portion of the new game like that...or is it that "once you defeat a boss you're banished back to your world. Oh and, you don't get to really keep any items or make any progress" type of souls nonsense?
Trying not to spoil myself too much, if anyone doesn't mind answering. I'll be hopefully playing through the entire game via multiplayer and I'd rather not deal with half-assed co-op if possible. It's my one real grip with Elden Ring.
