I played this shit on my nintendo switch after i played Sekiro and i thought it was so ass but then i played it on my PS5 and it was so much better. I love the level design of this game holy peak its so good, i do feel like it fell off around the end but idc it was still fine. The bosses were so fun and the dlc was awesome too. Nito, Ornstien and Smog, quelaag, Gwyn, Artorias, and Manus were the highlight bosses for me. The level design is so good and one of my favorites of the souls games. The lore is also pretty interesting. It feels weird and the other games feel much better but i still think it has its charm

Miyazaki peaked at Dark Souls 3
At first i thought this DLC was super ass and it brought a single tear to my eye as i thought my glorious king was washed and i had to tell him to get out of the kitchen as he forgot how to cook. After playing and exploring the DLC i finished it and i felt like this was way better than base game elden ring. My main issue is the whole balancing with the fragments, it just felt cheap and a way to excuse the way these bosses hit like a truck, but i was on new game plus 5 however none of the bosses in base was smacking me for more than half my health. Most of the older DLC felt balanced with the base game even on NG+ so i don't know why he added the fragments.
I believe this had way better bosses than base game elden ring with its standouts for me being Messmer, Rellana, Romina and the first phase of Prime Radahn. I really liked the messmer fight and i believe its top 15 maybe top 10 boss fights in souls, I thought his one shot grab was bullshit but other than that the fight is peak. However my most anticipated boss fight, the fight i wanted to see for this dlc and was wishing for when this dlc was announced, was ruined by the second phase. Prime Radahn was a fight i dreamed about and really wanted for this dlc, but Miyazaki ruined it by inserting Miquella and making Griffith 2.0 just to remind us he likes Berserk. I had a big smile on my face when i first made it to the final boss and i saw my glorious General Radahn pull up but then Miquella shows up to turn this into Lorian and Lothric but if it was ass and my smile faded away. I love how Miquella's hair doesn't let me see the attacks that take more than half of my health. I love how the light after attacks blind me to the next attack or hit stun me into getting one shot by an attack. I love how this fight has two nukes for me to worry about. I love how radahn shoots out quick afterimages that lead to an end attack that takes all of my health. 10/10 W Second phase.
The new weapons and armor are so cool. I love the great katana along with the martial arts. I love rellana's armor and the armor of solitude. The dragon form was here and i loved it.
Pretty good DLC but didn't reach my expectation of being on par with ringed city.
