Elden Lean
is the Newest In a line of “Soulslike” games from Developer “FromSoftware” Developers of the Award Winning Game Series’ like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro.
I won't tell that Onion Ring Feels like Dark Souls IV because that is a Self Evident Truth to those who Have Played The Game. Just so we’re clear, I do not care that FromSoft Reused Some Assets. Not Broken? Don’t Fix it.

GAYMEPLAYE A:
Like DS2 and 3 Had a baby, this takes the Idea of the weapon from the DS3 Camp, from the basics of swinging the thing to Weapon Arts that Consume FP upon their use. DS2 Comes into the Equation when Powerstancing comes into play. Yes Powerstancing makes a Triumphant Return. The Unique Changes That Sheldon Ring brings to the table is

GAYMEPLAYE B: THE OPEN WORLD
I wasted More than 270 Hours of my life on Three Different Playthroughs for this review and I cannot say I regret it. And Even then, I can’t Say that I found everything. In all three of those playthroughs COMBINED There were somethings that I missed. You just get lost in it so easily and Torrent is a great way to get around. And Like our favorite African Warlord Youtuber said, it was a genius way to avoid Piracy.

GAYMEPLAYE C: INTERCHANGEABLE WEAPON ARTS
I feel like this one is as Self explanatory as it gets. Don’t like A Weapons base weapon art? SLAP A NEW ONE ON IT. My Favorite Weapon Art is Lightning Ram. You Roll around like a hedgehog on Crack Cocaine and Vibe so hard, you Generate enough static electricity to boot up a gaming PC with an RTX 3090 TI.

STORY:
There is SO much Crazy ♥♥♥♥ packed into this game that I cannot I don’t wanna take the time to list it all off. I’ll Just give you my Favorite Side story.

The Demi-god Miquella Was minding his own Business with his sister Malenia in a totally PG Slice of Life Anime Scenario. No Weird Hentai Shenanigans Going on. Just Miq Trying to water a tree with his own Blood. Totally normal and Rational thing for your twin to Support. That didn’t work. So Miquella in His INFINITE WISDOM tried Grafting himself to the Haligtree. Then out of Nowhere, this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ name “Mohg” rips Miq from the tree and Kidnaps him. Mohg won’t shut up about his “New Dynasty” like he's some sort of king. Miquella is then Repeatly Raped by Mogh in an Attempt to bear a child, because… Because Mohg is too high on the spectrum to tell that Miquella is a Dude. This story might have inspired a sense of pity in me, IF Mogh Had a Higher IQ than a Pickled Sausage.

Oh uhhh, Spoilers I Guess…


COMPLAINTS:
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:10
We… Aren’t Perfect. And that Extends to our Creations. I’ll admit. I am Completely Biased and I don’t Care. I love this game and will gladly worship Bandai Namco's Nut Hair, but there are flaws that Even I am aware of.

BALANCING:
There are some Bosses that Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Baffel me as to HOW there were allowed to be let into the final product. No Jokes, no laughs, Malenia Probably took me 10 Hours to beat on the First time. If I have to respec TWICE and find and upgrade a weapon I don’t want, I think she has to go back to the Grinding wheel. As of 1.07, I still must resort to Cheese. Kentaro Miura, Pls fix.

That’s it. That’s all I have to Complain about. That’s also the End of this review. Would I Recommend Wedding Ring? Yes.

10/10. I’m Completely Biased and Idgaf.
