My experience with this game was such a mixed bag. I feel like I spent half the time being bored because I know everything this game will do, and half the time being awe struck at some of the destinations on the map. I feel like people misrepresent the amount of times you enter a cave that is literally copy pasted content with the only difference being whether it's longer, has more enemies or introduces a mechanic where everything looks the same 3 times over to ♥♥♥♥ with you. The amount of reused bosses is absolutely insane. You fight Erdtree Avatar more than 10 times, you fight Tree Spirits 10 times, you fight that dragon knight dude underground 3 times, you fight those stone cat looking dudes 5 times etc. It just made me want to skip a lot of the content, I missed about 10 caves and here I am being overjoyed I did because I couldn't have bothered with that recycled ♥♥♥♥ for a second longer.

But then you get to the Capital City, and your jaw drops. The stunning visuals and attention to detail grabs you, when you exit out of the room the little dudes playing along with the song catches you in this insane feeling of immersion and you're locked in. You can explore every corner of this place which is massive coming from Dark Souls 3. This is Elden Ring at it's best. This is the Dark Souls they wanted to make. But sadly those moment are too far in between, at least for me. I'd say about 3-4 areas did that for me. The rest was just the usual dark souls.

The environment is filled with so many gamer mechanics, by that I mean ladders that are as long as MGS 3 ladders. Platforms placed just so you can jump onto them. It doesn't feel organic it just takes you out of the experience.

This isn't really that much of a problem but it's kinda weird that you can upgrade your weapon to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ +25. It just feels like too much. Like they just made the game long and had no idea how to balance the weapons or something and just said "♥♥♥♥ it, slap a 25 on there and call it a day". But the somber smithing stone weapons go to +10? Weird.



Elden Ring is not a masterpiece that seemingly everyone gives it praise for, it has many flaws that are overlooked by so many people it makes me wonder if we played the same game. It's by no means bad, in the sea of unapologetically trash Triple A releases Elden Ring is a polished diamond. But as a Dark Souls game it never really did it for me. I wasn't even that hyped about this game and it still disappointed me in many aspects. Elden Ring is a product aimed for everyone, and It seems to have done just that. But in return I'm not as attached to this product as I am to Dark Souls 3.

Cya.
