Elden Ring (PS5)

N/A

I need to admit, the beginning of this game is honestly absolutely horrendous. You begin the game and play the short tutorial. Once you complete that, you have the whole world at your fingertips. (Well, not really). You learn the basics of fighting and kill off any simple NPC's you bump into. But as soon as you come across anything that isn't a knight or zombie, you are toast. Don't even get me started on the first compulsory boss, Margit the Fell Omen. It is an absolutely disgusting intro to a game.HOWEVEROnce you start to really get the hang of the game (I recommend exploring the map as much as you can, gain runes and level up and find a weapon that suits you best), you can really get going. Before you know it, Margit will seem like, well, nothing. By this point you should be about level 20 - 30 and having good fun, so all I can say is stay committed. Because if you do, you will be rewarded. So as horrible as the beginning is, if you are committed, you might just end up loving the game.

Extremely difficult for the casual gamer. You think more about saving progress rather than what to do next.If you've played similar games from the makers and understand the mechanics then yes. Its soul destroying and that's no pun intended.Graphics on PS 5 were nothing spectacular, pop up was probably because I spent so much tim running or riding in the opposite direction to the fight lol

Was happy

Fella likes it apparently its a good game

Very in-depth and for the days and hours UK you'll spend playing its worth it. Prefer final fantasy remake though.

Seriously.... Absolute nightmare of a game. And I love it! Anyone a fan of the Souls games. Take the concept. Throw it into a huge open world. Increase the difficulty... Good luck

What a game... 250 hours in and still discovering whole areas I didn't know existed. The world is rich and full of mystery and challenge. Endless possibilities for character development. Wonderful, simply wonderful 👌
