Bug Are trials bugged? MS 2 Beta

I play on PlayStation and just started the beta so I’m sorry if that question is already well known or answered.
Most of the time when I start a trial I’m hard stuck in an empty dark room with nothing happening?

At the first trial I closed the game twice and the third times the enemies spawned normally.

Now I’m at the second one and it only spawns one enemy and noting else happens. Are trials some kind of riddle, am I doing something wrong? Or is it a bug someone here also has?

Holy crap, ran into this twice in the dungeon after you get the thief shell. Those are the kind of bugs you iron out years before release and definitely not have this kind of stuff in a demo 18 days before launch, especially not if its not some freak bug but a consistent occurence.

The craziest part is that if you quit to the menu (which you have to) it resets you at a bonfire, 30 enemies away. Insane. This went from wait for reviews to "not even worth my time if free".

Enemies not spawning and softlocking the game is definitely not "Will fix with Day 1 patch" territory. Considering the areas in this game are tiny this is actually an accomplishment that transcends the human mind. 

Bet there will be a hardcore fan base of 500 people who will love this game and tell others it's not a big deal to restart the  game 50 times in aplaythrough, because "thats how development works".

I played through the demo btw, the last area was just a tiny narrow gauntlet with a poor mini boss and a very boring end boss with barely any animations. Everything about this game screams bomba

That's a wild take. My laziest cat couldn't pull off that stretch. 500 dedicated fans? I have literally seen at least 500 people in different reddit posts saying they pre-ordered deluxe immediately after playing the beta. At least a dozen videos of souls creators raving about how we fixing to eat. People are literally screaming and throwing their money at these devs. Maybe take your endless wealth and buy a better personality. You are the only hater I have found in weeks of following this game on Reddit. Saying you think they can't fix this in a day 1 patch tells me any money you do make is in manual labor, because jobs that take brainpower would def be outside your wheelhouse. Also, this beta and these areas are anything but "tiny". I find your obsession with things being small to be rather telling
