I played finish sekiro shadow die twice, all dark souls series, demon souls and bloodbourne. I also played other games like gears of war, metal gear solid, Halo, red dead redemption, GTA, persona series, god of war series, monster hunter, spiderman and many more. However, elden ring caught my attention. It has massive exploring open world, cool boss fight and story to becoming lord. I choose vagabond as begin due to it stat are good. As a lowly tarnish player like me, I really enjoy it, you have played more to become adapted to game, even you may blame or shock die unintentionally but is actually our mistake or greediness cause us die. I think most people infuriating about boss fight because is hard but if you learn it’s pattern due repeatedly few times or many or first try beginner luck, it was reward and give you new place to exploring. It has fast travel for each grace you touched and it has horse ride make this game better and convenient. The cutscene is really good and the voice actor of this are really professional. I wouldn’t say the graphic is good like horizon forbidden west or uncharted but the gameplay and presentation win me over. There are so many physical weapon and magical weapon you can use and each weapon and pros and cons. You can explore secret place like catacombs and fight mini boss, reward you some dunes (currency) and weapon or skill or talisment. Beside that, it has rebirth attribute player stat and can reset to allow player wield other type of weapon, this can be done after you beat the queen of full moon. Furthermore, when u summon or invite your friend into your server to beat boss or beat minion even though area of server based okay explore with friend are limited, you can still resummon your friend at other area as well, is fun! There are many pros I can say about this game and few cons as well, definitely a improvement over the souls series game. However, this game is not everyone, if you are not patience, not willing to die or learn mistake or not good in souls game or just not interested then is good try out but you can skip this game. For me is a big yes and excellent for me, 4.8 out of 5.
