A culmination of every From Soft game you've ever played in one arduous journey that continues to wow at every corner. Elden Ring is a testament to the objective of refining a formula rather than reinventing, and nearly 2 decades of refinement led to a journey that will now lead to other games reconsidering the open world approach.

Though not a perfect game, Elden Ring finds itself struggling to properly scale and thus ends up hurting some of the satisfaction in a series so vetted in its difficulty. My first playthrough tends to be a typical strength no magic run and as I did every little boss available I felt I started to outpace the intended scaling of the game. There is very much an intended route of the open world as you get a sense of the difficulty in each respective area. Yet, by doing all content laid ahead you tend to make the game even easier than I personally feel was intended.

Outside of the scaling, Elden Ring is able to show off a multidue of gorgeous and harrowing evironements that are packed with awe and intrigue. Secrets are plentiful, danger is constant, but there is a calming serenity in playing a game so jam packed of high quality in content. If past soulsbourne games did not intrigue you in the past, this may still not be the game for you. But, if you understand or have appreciated what came before this, Elden Ring will end up setting the bar so incredibly high, it may take time to acclimate going back to their older titles.

Practically a perfect sequel to one of the best zombie games from the past decade. Dying Light 2 further refines the elements that made the first game so special while also expanding in scope narratively and mechanically to create a gameplay loop that is immensely satisfyingly to play,

Messing around with side quests and generally just enjoying exploring the different environments, I wrapped up the story quest line around 30 or so hours and I personally felt that everything was improved from the first game. Better voice acting, plotlines, and enough player agency to make you feel like the decisions you made make a difference. I'm interested to discuss with my friends who have completed the game what happened in their storylines.

This game was completed on PC and I was lucky enough to have a practically bug free experience, the only actual bug that cropped up during my run was the looping death audio when a partner got downed online, and the character would continue to grunt and wince during cutscenes! This only happened twice though. I was able to play online seamlessly with different people throughout different parts of the game with no issue.
Alongside that, no major performance issues or crashing, I did not have a single crash and the only notable performance issue would be from what seemed to be a memory leak, play sessions pushing over 4 hours saw lower FPS but thankfully a quick restart helped, again this was not much of an issue. The game held around 120FPS during all sections and I can only assume performance may get better as time goes on.

The parkour has made a huge stride and the paraglider is becoming one of the best rips from BOTW as it makes traversing this huge and vertical map a breeze!

Looking forward to the long life of support that title will get moving forward and seeing what types of DLC Techland has in store!

An excellent sports game only brought down by the lack of features. The core mechanics of presentation of this game are excellent, but it feels very dated when it comes to nearly everything else.

No actual tutorial, a barebones online system, barebones friend options.

A very fun play without a doubt, but missing a lot of the things you would expect nowadays. Disc Jam, a somewhat spiritual successor from a few years ago modernizes the genre enough to help it blend into other modern games, but Windjammers 2 wears the Neo Geo on its sleeve... and everywhere else!
