i pretty much finished this game, quit at the final boss. which is the reason i quit altogether in fact, elden ring is an extremely good video game to say the least, the world and exploration are something to be looked upon as an achievement in the open world genre. not being lead anywhere by markers (except for the occasional arrow pointing somewhere at sites of grace), it truly immerses you and gets you excited whenever you come across anything new. the way you can also get super experimental with builds is wild as well! magic builds are better than ever, the weapons stand out more than any other souls game to date, it's really great! but the reason i left 3 and a half stars on this was due to the last 3rd of this game, the end game dungeons and bosses are absolutely miserable to me. the godskin duo, elden beast, and radahn if you need any specifics. it really tore me apart because i do love the first parts of this game! it just wore me down and felt not fun when it came to these aspects, and having your end game build with 50 vigor get 2 shot by some random boss that shouldnt be that hard is very, extremely, disheartening and feels like you're being punished for no reason. overall, great game, still recommend you play it, but if you're like me and the end game got to you as hard as it did, you won't be seeing another replay from this for a while.
