Gonna do a short and sweet review just so i don't bore the reader with things they have already heard or seen...

ELDEN RING is an absolutely PHENOMENAL game.
The Lands Between is one of the most intricate, prettiest, and biggest worlds I've ever stepped foot in, and one that's super addictive to explore! I tried to check every nook and cranny in this place and I still missed a good chunk of stuff! I will definitely be playing this game still even after beating it, it's just that fun especially with all the content it has and stuff to do! Amazing combat. Awesome boss fights. Stellar music. Beautifully crafted world. it's all great.
Open-World Dark Souls, It's as fire as it sounds!

Going to get into some real minor nitpicks i had now: I don't know if i'm a fan of the summoning feature of this game. Don't get me wrong, it is REALLY cool to fight side by side with little explosive jars or literally YOURSELF. But it feels real cheesy and really does trivialize bosses. I felt guilty using them on my playthrough but hey, 😹 Also not a fan of how questlines work in this game. It's been soulsborne tradition that quests are pretty vague and hard to follow but i do wish they changed that this game. Having a quest log would help a lot instead of having to pull up a guide!

The journey from a lowly Tarnished to becoming Elden Lord is a memory I will cherish greatly. this game will go down in the history books. absolute masterpiece. absolute rawness. absolute peak gaming. I recommend it 100% and 1000% brother! 👍👍

Very rawesome review Dave, I agree that the lack of a quest log hurts the game imo since looking up guides is a bit immersion breaking
