Had high hopes for Elden Ring when I first played it, but turned out to be such a let down. whether it was from the boring gameplay, OST, bosses, dungeons and exploration.
Might as well just turn off the OST, cause most of the time you'll get bored of it and it gets repetitive, for example when you explore areas it's really not good. Same thing with bosses why bother listening to their crap, I personally didn't like any of the OSTs of this game and much liked other Fromsoft's OST.
The dungeons are so repetitive and most of them lack good loot/runes + all of the bosses are either not fun to fight or not worth the hassle to go in. Shows how much work was put onto these dungeons which is little and stupid.
Bosses in this game either have a good attack patterns that you'll have to try and dodge the right moment otherwise he'll just combo you out of the fight...or they can be utterly garbage and very boring to fight, that sometimes using a 100% guard shield and counterattack them with a heavy sword. There is no between either it's decent or trash. the OSTs are pretty mid same thing said before and better just to play DS3's OST. I'd like to also mention there are duo bosses in it, and they're very bad! something that was implemented good in DS3 has been utterly crushed in here, Godskin duo and Crucified Knight duo are trash by all means.
I wished if they implemented Sekiro's fight style to this game, the gameplay would be very good to fight of bosses + it'll be fun, but no. Sadly they just used the same Souls gameplay mechanic and added a jump button with two attacks. I was devastated when I knew the gameplay mechanic wasn't the same as Sekiro's, I still wish it was.
World and it's exploration... Some places and areas are very well made and nice to look at, the rest are meh. Exploration is below decent, other games made exploration better and fun, and didn't have the same OST play every single time. + Some areas are not even worth exploring at all and just skip them to reach the boss, or to reach the upgrade stones or weapons. Still could've been better in my opinion.
Game could've been better but meh what do you expect, people are going to by hyped about it. + the DLC is 45$ nice one Fromsoft.
1.0/5
