Elden Ring is an action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, released in February 2022. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with world-building contributions from novelist George R. R. Martin, the game features an expansive open world called the Lands Between. Players assume the role of a customisable character known as the Tarnished, who must explore this world, battle formidable enemies, and seek to restore the Elden Ring to become the Elden Lord.
The game builds on the challenging gameplay mechanics familiar from the Dark Souls series but introduces a more open-ended structure with vast exploration, dynamic weather, and a day-night cycle. It offers deep lore, complex characters, and an interconnected world filled with secrets, dungeons, and powerful bosses.

Finally, Bloodborne 2. (She wasn't so bad [if you use Mimic Tear and Corpse Piler] compared to every other boss I fought)

The Fire Giant can seriously fuck right off. This is the first time I’ve hit a wall in this game and died more than twice to a boss. I got him down to a sliver of his life three times now and messed up at the very end each time. I’m just way to tired for this fight. I need …

Read moreHaving played most popular fromsoft games like dark souls 2, 3, sekiro, and code vein. I have been waiting for this to drop ever since I got a hint of it. Dark souls 2 brought me into the souls-like genre which, I know isn't the best of the series but still, it gave me the taste of what a souls-like game is. It gave me the euphoria of finally defeating a boss after dying thousands of times to it. Followed by dark souls 3 and then sekiro, which came with a different playstyle but still gave the same satisfaction of finally defeating a boss. Picking up Elden ring I was worried if I would have the time and patience to complete such a colossal game. But after starting it up they were the least of my worries. To my luck, I didn't come across the tree sentinel just after stepping out of the first step which made life a lot easier. I would say Fromsoftware made this one friendlier to newcomers at the same time, those who seek challenge can do that too. Ever since I discovered spirit summons none of the bosses took me more than a day like genichiro and Ishhin which took more than a week for me to beat. I was able to quickly go through the story without much frustration with my trusty dual-wield katanas and mimic tear. Now I have started a new run which I hope to finish without any spirit summons and meta build. Even in the second playthrough, I saw so much content I have missed, so many details I have overlooked and the world itself is a bliss to be immersed in. Again, fromsoftware has delivered a masterpiece that will be replayed and talked about for many more years to come.

The best game ever played on my PC since dark souls 3. Tried not open up youtube to seek for walkthrough and at last I failed and started subscribing to youtubers who can guide me throughout the path and also followed reddit for extra info about the game

Having made it through several late game areas and arrived at the final boss I feel like I can firmly state that the last 1/4 of this game is not very good at all and as I struggle to work up the motivation to finish I am left with a feeling of profound disappointment.

Killed the Magma Wyrm and picked up the Moonveil katana. No regrets, even if I had to pour a lot of points into intelligence just to wield it (23 total). Now I inflict both magic and bleed damage and have a ranged attack with my blade. Very handy so far. Might need to put some points into Mind now, just …
