    Read the online reviews exhaustively if you're not already familiar with this game. I'm not sure I like it, to be honest. It has very limited coop...very limited. Like almost none.

    Beautiful world; Frustrating (Dark Souls 3) combat

    Elden Ring has an expansive, beautiful, and interesting world to explore. However, the combat is very "meh" at best, and downright frustrating at worst. This is coming from someone who played hundreds of hours of Dark Souls 1 and 2. I played a few hours of Dark Souls 3, but I felt 3 was a huge step back in every way but graphics, compared to the previous games. Unfortunately, most of Elden Ring's systems are identical Dark Souls 3... (fast, "spazzy" enemies; equally fast bosses with huge health pools and multiple phases; player defenses are largely determined by level and not gear; most attacks will stagger lock the player, poise is nigh useless). If you enjoyed Dark Souls 3, you'll likely enjoy this. However, if you didn't like Dark Souls 3, I recommend buying this on sale just to experience the world.

    Why is this so overhyped?

    First off, the game is good overall. Nothing much to add there. It’s enjoyable overall. My gripe is the perfect 10s, the masterpiece rating everyone is seeing. What game are they playing? This is not a masterpiece or a 10. I’d give it a solid 8. But if you are new to Souls or Sekiro or simply debating to get this, wait for a sale. If you’ve ever played those games and never continued from frustration, wait for a sale. Nothing about this screams perfection especially with all the graphical issues on all systems. That alone should not warrant a perfect score and makes me wonder how dishonest and paid these critics were. I would avoid unless your a deep fan of this genre. Even then I’d say it’s worth a wait for a sale price. Too many good games to play right now and coming up.

    I would have given 5 stars but I didn't realize I'd be getting the floor mopped by every enemy I encountered. I thought this was gonna be like Skyrim. Nope. Now it's a dust collector

    Most Overrated Game Of The Year

    Now that release day has finally come we can see that the hype for this game was completely unnecessary. Pre-release reviews put this game on a pedestal and didn’t mention any of its flaws, makes me wonder how much money was put into them. Unfortunately I bought into it and after around 10 or so hours of playing I’m left wondering why I was even excited for this. Clearly the day 1 patch did not help and just caused even more graphical pop in and stuttering on PS5. The controls are messy, there is no real sense of progression and the camera angles can be infuriatingly bad on horseback at times. I will say this game has an interesting world with some awesome character and boss designs which is part of what got me interested but the gameplay just isn’t what it’s being marketed as. Graphics and performance wise I would say it is a solid last gen release which makes it 2 years too late to be anything special. Wait for a sale on this one.
