My first FromSoft game, my first PS5 platinumed game at 150 hours and nearly every single boss iteration.
Every criticism that came up for Elden Ring were minor quality of life or mechanical issues which could be patched out, like not being able to open your map when even a squirrel gets aggro'd, or the auto-lock camera controls. For every tiny speck of dirt on this Mona Lisa of a game, there's around 10 major positives which outshined them. Ridiculously engrossing and I have no idea how this even possibly worked as a game. Lots of critics say "11/10" to appease fans but fuck that, Elden Ring's an 11.5 to me.
