i have just completed elden ring my very first souls-like game and i must say i thoroughly enjoyed every hour of the 40hour journey except for the initial 2 hours when I was still learning the ropes and grasping the concept of the game i defeated every possible boss and tried 5 diff weapons during the run.i had a negative impression of elden ring but now its evolving into one of my all time favorite games m even planning a second playthrough.
