Elden Ring (2022 Video Game)
7/10
One of the most overrated games of all time
28 August 2022
This is by far the worst Fromsoft Soul game to date. It's Easy (for me) and very hard (for others) at the same time because its unbalanced. Mostly though its on the Easy side because of its open-world.

I am not bashing the game just because its easy but because it was forgettable and boring the whole way through. Very bad and cheap bosses, and they are recycled the whole game with only more HP each time.

Little enemy variety, they get recycled and specially by the last part of the game. Very few main bosses and mostly they were boring and forgettable.

The NPCs are very few for such a big game. Upgrade items are such a pain to find. I got tired of exploring emptiness. Most of the map is empty. I explored about 90% of the whole map and nothing was special at all.

The game was very bad at launch, its important to mention. Absolutely utter crap optimization. I had to wait till now to play it after so many patches, finally it got a bit more stable. No widescreen support either even after all the patches shame on the developers.

One of the most over-hyped and overrated games of all time. If this is your first Soul game, then I kind of understand why you would overrate this game.

For me after finishing All souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro and both of NiOH. I found this to be very underwhelming in most aspects.

Sekiro in my option is the best Fromsoft game it was polished and complete. And also Revolutionary of a game. It feels like Fromsoft went back many steps with Elden Ring. Very disappointing.

There are videos on Youtube that explains why this is From Softwares weakest soul game to date.

I Went back and played DS3 after I finished Elden Ring, the combat is smoother in DS3 and does not have a weird delay. The bosses are hundred times better made. Each boss had like at least 3 phases. They were unique and intense. The world was well thought and more memorable. The weakest thing with DS3 is that it was a bit liner but I'd take that over the emptiness of Elden Ring.

Finished Elden Ring just under 60h and did take most of the bosses in the map. Most of the time spend was walking around and riding the horse, no fun at all. I just search for some action and every time I finally found a boss I killed it in 5 seconds and was disappointed.

That's my take on this game. I didn't want to write a review, but I had to because people only talking about how this game is perfect. As if gaming is done after this game or something.

If you looking for a really beautiful open world to explore then nothing beats Witcher 3. And if you are looking for great bosses and good combat then go where its really at and that is games like Sekiro, Nioh2, DS3, Bloodborne. These games puts you right into the action from the beginning to the end yet they deliver a memorable and fine crafted world.

There are many other things I could mention about E. R. but it would take lots of time and its just not worth it.
