Elden Ring is obviously great, I don't need to sing its praises but the controls/camera are the hardest thing in the game. Throw some remarkably bad level design in there and it just makes some completely unenjoyable moments and encounters. Carpal tunnel is gonna be the hardest boss in these games.

Speaking of bosses, some are a literal marathon with the amount of running you have to do just to get 1 or 2 hits in, or you spend the whole fight whacking feet unable to see all the cool animations or attacks coming to smack you in the face because of how tall the boss is.

These moments aren't a constant, and maybe its a skill issue (get gud), but when they are an issue it just makes such a frustrating experience for all the wrong reasons.

Bosses I found to be some of the most annoying in the FromSoft franchise for these exact reasons, mixed in with you only chipping away their health but they do a slight shake and half your life is gone, made for the most unbalanced feeling only bearable with a friend (but of course, makes it even harder and more unbearable)
