I feel as though this game is the culmination of everything wrong with Dark Souls 2&3 rolled into one. While I genuinely enjoyed the first two thirds of Elden Ring exploring and finding all the cool secret areas and encounters, the endgame felt rushed and unbalanced with countless re-skins and frustrating boss encounters that felt cheap rather than a fun challenge.
Which is a shame because this game has some of the coolest visuals and stellar designs for all of it's enemies, weapons,
and environments as well as a fairly interesting world and lore (even though it's essentially just a rehash of the same general idea as Dark Souls).
It's also plagued by a pretty terrible online experience (as of me writing this review) which stutters and disconnects constantly.
In short, Elden Ring on it's own is a pretty marvelous experience in the early game, which takes a sharp turn in quality near it's end.
