Unpopular opinion: Minus the bosses, The Ringed City is a garbage dlc

Yes the bosses are good with the exception of Halflight, but thats all anyone ever talks about with this dlc. Nobody ever mentions the fact that half of it is just a mad dash from bonfire to bonfire,with enemy placement so egregious it almost discourages exploration all together. That and the cheap artificially difficult parts, like the judicators, the (sometimes) one shot Midir bridge, the swarms of enemy ganks, a scaricity of bonfires, etc.

I enjoyed ds3's base game and Ashes of Ariandel, but The Ringed City just feels like an unfair mash up of all the bs FS could conjure in an attempt to pad the run time between the admittedly good bosses they made.
