First off I'm not gonna go SUPER in-depth right now, mainly just wanted to go ahead and give my Google rating so it will contribute to it's standing in the first week. I feel VERY confident doing so before finishing the game because I have ~130ish hours into it so far and have slain 3 of the main story-line lords; Godrick, Rannala, and Radahn....in that order. I've also defeated countless area/dungeon bosses... literally sooo many. I freaking love how many boss encounters is in this game. Also noteworthy is I'm not being paid for this review or compensated in any way. This is pure love. I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition and I'm happy with my decision to do so. To be fair I'm very biased to the FromSoft-Soulsborne games, I've played and beat Demon Souls, DS1, DS2, DS3, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. With DS3 being my favorite by a long shot, but I absolutely loved them all and consider them to be amongst the best games created. I will add that Elden Ring has already toppled that list and dethroned DS3 as my favorite. I'm playing on Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X at the time of writing this. The gameplay has been almost flawless. Whatever the frame rate is, it has been to my satisfaction with only a couple of instances of getting choppy. But I'm not a performance snob either...as long it it looks as good as this game does and runs as crisp as it has then I'm satisfied. A couple hiccups I've experienced is one issue where you clip into the rocks while attempting a backstab on a wax-miner enemy, and cannot get back out without fast traveling to a grace site. This is repeatable and have noted others having this issue as well. The only other thing to happen was in the academy you can jump onto a window ledge and clip thru into the abyss and see the entirety of the fort without obstacles or walls (only items & enemies). You can't get stuck or run around after clipping, it's only the camera view. If you try to proceed further you fall off the window and onto the floor again without any issue. Couple more noteworthy bits: I'm using a lvl 100 strength build and taking my dear sweet time trying every jump and smacking every wall. TBC....

I just rolled the credits and it's....amazing. And this one somehow improved on (The Blind Forest) in every way. The music is so soo good and atmospheric! And the art style is beautiful and fun at the same time! I played both of them in order, and back to back this weekend...and I'm so happy I did! What a great studio over at Moon and that goes for the developers and everybody who had a part in it! Good on you guys! 👏👏👏

Wow man....I literally just finished the story. Like the credits are still rolling but I couldn't help myself but to hurry and get here to give this game a rating! It has took me this long to try this game despite all the good I had heard about it, and boy am I glad I finally did! It's amazing. It really took me back to the old days. I've not played any side-scrolling platformers like this in a really long time. The music is amazing and really suits the tempo and environment at all times. And the story is also interesting....I'm about to fire up Will of the Wisps to continue it. For clarity I played the definitive edition and I played on Normal difficulty. It took me 13 hours. However I really took my time and explored everything, and done a lot of back-tracking for things after getting new skills or abilities. Anyway I'm finished gushing over this game...it's great! If you're like me and was either being lazy and not trying it or holding off for some other reason...just stop now and begin playing it. You won't be disappointed!

This show was recommended to me by a friend a few years ago because of my love for all things sci-fi or "supernatural"!? Lol. And I gotta say I thought it was sort of lame at first, but I learned to appreciate it pretty fast and ended up falling in love with the series. So anyway...blah blah blah it's a great show and I highly suggest anyone who thinks they may like it, to give it a shot. It might be my favorite show on TV?

I'm seriously blown away! And I was not expecting to feel this way about the game. I reluctantly pre-ordered against my better judgement, because I'ma be honest with ya...I'm a sucker for Star Wars anything. And that was one of my main concerns going into it, thinking that EA was counting on the Star Wars suckers to shell out the money for a game that might be trash. But it isn't...not even close. I thoroughly and wholeheartedly enjoy it...not because it's "Star Wars" though...because you could honestly slap any other title and generic lore on it instead and it would still be an immensely fun game! Being a Star Wars game just helps. In my opinion it's a "must buy" game for 2019...and a top contender for the year! Do yourself a favor and pick it up if you haven't yet! Thank me later...
