The accomplishment is even more impressive considering the nature of spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic condition that weakens muscles and causes movement difficulties.
If you are able to take down Malenia, you deserve a pat on the back. And to do it with voice commands definitely is next level skills right there.Kudos to DeadlyPG. Congrats to him.
Despite these challenges, the streamer made a system of voice commands, such as ‘juice’ for healing and ‘still’ for attack, to name a few, to navigate and fight within the game.

And in an unexpected, but also kind of expected, way, the DLC’sreviews on Steam went to ‘Mixed’. This has, however, stabilized back to a ‘Mostly Positive’ after a few more days as the initial ruckus has died down. It also helps in the sense that FromSoftware released a patch to tune the difficulty.
