One of the best games I've played, brought me to tears multiple times within the very short story.

Certainly the best DLC I have ever played, The world is super pretty and there is so much to explore. Most of the bosses are also very fun and they all have interesting designs. Now on another note the final boss is pretty bs, especially the phase 2.

10/10 would recommend

Pretty good, I liked the existential dread

Very goog, Blobfish is a chad and actually listens to the community

After 200 hours and a couple of playthroughs I have many things to say about this game.

The first time I played Elden Ring, I didn't like it and stopped after a couple of hours because I didn't know where to go or what to do. However a bit later I watched some videos about Elden Ring and tried to get back into it, haven't stopped liking playing it since.

My first playthrough took me about 70 hours and I didn't really experience a lot of the game. Second time around I tried doing a playthrough trying to fit the caveman asthetic, that was fun and although it took me about 20 hours, It was very fun the whole way (exept some bosses, screw you Horah Loux).

So at that point I had about 160h of playtime and I played a couple hours with a friend on the Seemless Co-op mod, which is truly the best way to experience Elden Ring's multiplayer.

Recently I tried doing a level 1 run, it was painful - took me just over 20 hours - but oh so rewarding and it really taught me How much I love and hate some bosses. For an example Horah Loux is a boss which is really nice in it's first phase but starts to get really annoying after trying the second phase for a couple of tries. However in my opinion Margit and Morgott are both very enjoyable fights with a lot of skill in play and really have a nice rythm to them.

During my play I also went for all the achievements and they were actually nice to go get for the most part.

I find elden beast to be an extremely underwhelming final boss, radagon is an extremely cool fight tho. Elden beast doesnt feel like a boss and feels more like just a final ♥♥♥♥ you to the player, it just constantly runs away, has a stupid amount of poise and the elden stars attack is by far the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing in the entire game. The ending would've felt much more rewarding if we got a true phase 2 for radagon and just had an actual fair fight for the last one in the game. Radagon also has some strange hitboxes in the last part of his fight but its not that bad.

In conclusion although the game can be difficult and frustrating at times, actually achieving what you vere going for is extremely rewarding and the game is definitely worth the price.

10/10, I love it

Edit at 300hr hours: game still goog

Very fun to play with friends but the 1.0.20 update removed some of the fun due to fixing clipping out of bounds in many areas which was one of the most fun aspects of the game (tho not all methods are patched yet)
before the game was a strong 10/10 due to all the goofy stuff we could do with friends, now a 7/10 at best
