A Souls-like game which is relentless in every way it can be, just like it is supposed to be.
The open world is seducing but will be very ruthless if you're not prepared of haven't played any form of Souls-like game before.
Amazing game to get into and the controls are fairly basic. Easy to play but very hard to master. From skills and combat builds to knowing the damage patterns an enemy or boss can do will really pull you into this game.
One cannot play this game for only an half an hour since beating a boss, area or quest will challenge you in every way possible. It's up to you to adapt and conquer on your journey, even if it takes many tries, deaths and loss of Runes.
Not as liniar as the original Dark Souls games but it can be since the quests are all the same, every playthrough. Not all quests have to be done however; by doing just a few quests or skipping others can lead to a different ending of the game.
In terms of controls, Elden Ring has a heavy feel to it. It also can be clunky at times when fighting or navigating the world. When in combat, the camera tends to mess up when fighting dragons for instance. Facing multiple enemies can also be a hassle since the character sometimes has focussing issues which can lead to some unavoidable deaths.
Menu's are also fairly simple and sometimes confusing if you're looking for something specific. Quests are quite in depth and require a lot of reading, there is almost no such thing as a waypoint or quest marker. Make sure to pay attention when accepting a quest on what to do and where to go!
Even though this game has it flaws, it is still a very well percieved game. The option to play the game how you want is very satisfying. If you cannot beat a boss or enemies in an area are too powerful, just farm some monsters and come back!
This game got me into Souls-like games and has a special place in my heart. Elden Ring's clunkyness is however still a thing which unfortunately cannot be avoided at times.
