This is the first From Software game i have ever played expect for an hour of demon souls at another persons house. I have played over 100 games and i can easily say that Elden Ring is the best game i have ever played, there is nothing quite like it. So far i currently have not finished it but have put 90 hours into the game and most of that time has been exploring small villages and dungeons. The game is truly open world meaning it doesnt spoon feed quests, locations and skills to you and is something you find out by listing to dialogue and NPCs describing a location or telling you weather you go north, west, east or south to find the next part of the quest. The difficulty is something that i have heard many say is bad thing but i would disagree. The difficulty is directly entwined with the story and lore of the game and the idea of the difficulty separating the people who are willing to get back up from a mistake no matter how many times it takes and learn from it to improve on themselves and their skills is a brilliant idea and can give you an important life skill if you choose to bring that concept into the real world. on ps4 at least there are some minor issue like the frame rate of the game dropping on some enemies but it doesn't happen often and doesn't ruin the game. overall brilliant game that From Software put their love and time into to create this Masterpiece.
