*No Spoilers - PS5* Love the combat system and the camera puts you right up in the action. Very gritty and gory, full of eery, dark tones. If you get scared easily, it may not be for you. The combat system is bloody satisfying, very melee driven. You will die a lot and notice the game has developed numerous animated sequences showcasing your demise. The music and sound effects are award winning. CP makes me think of the story in the deadspace paperback, Catalyst.

"Free Entertainment Ahead" "Read the 1-Star Reviews" 😂😂 Cmon!! From Software? Thank you for this masterpiece. We applause and appreciate you all. I'm roughly 25 hours in, while I was tortured within the first 2 hours (yeah, treasure chest with the teleport smoke, I'm talking to you). Some time was spent within the main quest, a tremendous amount in the roam and finally getting summoned in multi-player. Playing on the PS5, it runs beautifully and feels quite reminiscent to my fond memories of Demons Souls on PS3. You also gave me my first, Dragon scary dream. I'm a 41 year old man. I have no further words. Looking forward to what's to come.. Elden Ring belongs in the Hall of Game. 🏆
