This game has so much potential. It could be the greatest game of all time, and at times it is. But it falls into the trap of being a FromSoft game. Because it's a FromSoft game it is unnecessarily difficult, with no good reason for this. There are several points with huge difficulty spikes for no real reasons other than artificially boosting the runtime so streamers can shout at the game more. It also runs horribly on the PS4. I had to literally put my console in my fridge during some of the bossfights in order to avoid overheating. It really is disappointing that this game is so good, but so focused on being difficult and on looking good, that it puts these two things over having a fun experience. I really really wanted to love Elden Ring, and there are times when I do love Elden Ring, every 3 months or so, I get back into this game for like a weekend, and I love it, until I find an enemy too difficult to defeat and I go focus on something important until I pick the game back up later on and restart the whole cycle. I truly do want to love Elden Ring, but I just don't have the time to sink into grinding this game.

THIS IS THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!! I WAS ON THE TOTK HYPE TRAIN THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH, AND ALL THAT HAPPENED WAS THAT I GOT DISSAPOINTED HORRIBLY!!! IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANY PART OF BOTW THAT YOU ENJOYED, IT WAS REDONE IN TOTK, WORSE! The Great Plateau exists in the sky now, that fucker rauru replaced the chad king Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, and rauru isnt even the sage, he's just some zonai nerd. AND THE ZONAI! DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE ZONAI! They took what was a cool small concept in BOTW and ruined it for the sake of fanservice! All that this game does is retroactively bastardize and attempt to ruin the greatest game of all time, even the new building mechanics make NO SENSE to be found in a ZELDA game!!! and worst of all, i'm the only sane one!!! everyone loves this game!!! it won all sorts of awards!!! reviewers are eating up this absolute horrible shlock!!! tears of the kingdom is the greatest dissapointment ever and anyone who even slightly enjoyed any small part of this game is objectively wrong. fuck you nintendo, you made my childhood awesome, then you had to go ahead and ruin it.
