23 hours into the game and still having a ton of fun. I have not beat the main story yet. Haven't been in that big a hurry. The game is massive. The combat and variety of enemies keeps you on your toes. It also makes you want to unlock all Freys abilities.
Also looking at the trophies I've unlocked and the percentage of players who've unlocked them, I don't see how this game can have so many bad reviews. Common trophies for running jumping and covering distance. Less then 20% of players have unlocked. Main story trophies 75% of players Haven't made it to the second Tanta yet. And many more examples.. yet all the negative reviews. I don't understand... it doesn't add up.
This game is totally worth it. I'm on my 4th play through of Elden Ring. Beat the GOW Ragnarok, Horizons forbidden west. Spider man Ghost od Tsusima and Forspoken is just as good on all levels as those games. I think the combat it better in Forspoken then the rest of those games. I'm playing on hard and Frey is an absolute beast.
I recommend this game whole heartedly.
