long story short, we will probably be talking about Elden Ring for a lot of years to come, very well made game.

Elden Ring is what most probably call the perfect balance of game design, story, graphics and unrealistic goals.

when I talk about unrealistic, at this point in I am 160 hours into the game, the base game can be achieved and beaten within 30 to 40 mins, that being said you are doing the very minimal of the what the game offers and I mean just like 3 or 4% ? it's hard to say because I am trying to do as much as I can in my first playthrough and I can tell you right now I can't even do that.

and I would imagine you have to play the game's new game plus at least 3 times before you can get the 100% achievement. but even then there is more than likely something you missed.

this game will give you endless hours of entertainment, future DLC to give you even more to do when you think you've ran out of things to do in game, and the always ever changing meta's and build crafting for the multiplayer.. speaking of which is amazing they've made it better and more assessable to invade/host/summon

some examples are you can just turn on helpful summoning so if you are ever near an area that needs summons for a boss you don't have to be right on top of it, it will just place a summon icon near the player's summoning pool if you are walking around the same area as the player.

but placing summons is still available.

same thing with invading icons if a player wants to pvp your icon will appear near them.

and if you just want to invade in the area you are in you can always pop a bloody finger and invade at random.


before I wrap this up I will give you some key pointers about the game if you are on the fence.

the game is basically single player with the option to turn on multiplayer (I haven't tried it to much) but Unless somebody can correct me, if you beat a boss your friend goes away and you will have to go to another area to summon them where a boss is present or it might be just dumb down to just enemies but beating a boss making your friend summon return to their world sounds correct to me.

you can not summon your stead when you are in multiplayer. (could be subject to change)

good news is if you aren't trying to summon a friend to play with, you are not going to be invaded by enemy players.. but you still have to watch out for enemy npc's.

and lastly because I don't think I really have to bring this up but it is still a souls game, you will die a lot and it is super hard, there are many guides out there to help new players to the series and show you that just because the game is hard doesn't make it not fun.

all and all it's a really good game and I give it a 5 out of 5.

https://www.twitch.tv/art3mis_the_imp is where I stream it from time to time.

Fun fast pace game you can enjoy with friends or complete strangers, would like to see some updates and or more maps, but I also think if it's not broken don't fix it.

would recommend for the price and the fun.

After the rough start I can safely say this is an ark/atlas style game that won't disappoint.

it's still in early Pre-Alpha but for what it has ATM will keep you and your friends entertained.

it's tutorial is simple to follow and catches you on to the game very quickly allowing you to PVP in the starting oasis without losing your items under level 20.

it's combat system is fun with blocking weapons you use to attack limiting to mostly melee weapons for up close combat leaving most of the range fighting to your walker vehicles making the PVP more skill based than fancy gimmicks.

it's clan basing system with the walkers to move from server to server (oasis) is unique to the point it keeps the more experienced players from farming the lower level players and even going to the starting oasis.

as the time of writing this, the hard zone oasis/servers are not available, to prevent power creep between clans in-game (smart move on their part) I think it's being said some time this Friday 4/11/20 it should get an update to include more things to do and more servers to play on.

the crafting systems and engrams are complex and interesting leaving you to discover something new almost every time you look into see what you can upgrade into.

some of the mechanics for the walkers grapple guns and legit storing a huge base inside your walker to place down at any time (no joke) is awesome and just adds on to the entertainment you and your clan can enjoy for legit hours.

Overall the game is solid and since the rough launch with the server problems, there hasn't been any server problems or long load times or sign-in.

I have been holding off on this review because of the launch but now that every things seems to be working flawlessly now I 100% can recommend this game and say it's better than atlas at launch and will get even more content to do very soon.

Overall Good game, some glitches and bugs here and there but overall fun game and community.

I was a big fan over the first Destiny game and I always think it's a miracle that Bungie loved the community enough and bring the game to PC.

I won't lie to you the game has been on a rough struggle to get where it is now, it's been up and down but ever since they left Activision they seem to continue to get better about delivering on their word.

Now the game is Free, but new content is locked behind a $10 USD paywall.

for the first season however being connected to Shadowkeep for $35 USD you get both the moon missions/story/dungeon and what ever else is included in the season of undying including the raid and exclusive weapons.

But outside of that you can play 3 separate stories besides the base game that's included 2 past DLC stories missions and ect. are also included.

Also the PVP is worth while if you grind the weapons you want to use and find the perfect role gun you want.

anyway to just recap Pay how you want Play how you want it's a good game and will have a few more years of new content drops, so I HIGHLY consider it to ppl who want their moneys worth.

A little grindy, heck I spent hours on stream and I was given a new problem or task every couple of in game days (about 5 mins each day) but I feel like I could play it forever with how charming it is and addictive the game play is.

if you don't mind grindy games this is for you.

The Last Leviathan Is Truly an amazing Game with a simple but brilliant game mechanic.

Build A Floating, Armored Ship And Take on The Sea!

Testing the build of your ship as you sail, you have the option to fix or adjust (when not in Battle) the Ship, To anything from The weight to the Weapons to even the style.

The Art Style is very reminiscent to Legend Of Zelda - Wind Waker.
because the quality of the game is so stunning and visually appealing it would almost be taking as a game developed by nintendo in the craftsmanship alone.

This game also has realistic weight and floating mechanic's which really underlines the game.
sometime building on to many weapons and armor pieces can be at the cost of your vessel's buoyancy which may cause the ship to tip over or sink.

Even though this game is amazing, it's still an early build with some small and minor issues

-The Game Might Have A Hard Time Playing On Average Gaming Computers.
now when I say this I mean The game will play ..ok, But might Cause a lot of FPS issues.

I have Found That If you build Your Ship more simple and on the small side with less weapons You will Have more FPS to Work With.

I suspect the weapons are creating some sort of entity which makes it harder for your computer to run the game.
Also The Games Menu Will be able tell you if your Game Can Handle Big Ships or not.

I can't even Play the Event (for YouTubers) because the Ship in Question in defeating is Causing my game to Lag.
not that I can Even build A ship that would be strong enough would lag my game otherwise to beat it, Which Makes me a little sad.

:(

I do hope Super Punk Games Can Fix This because I truely Want to be able to build My ships Big Enough that I feel Like A Ship to be reckoned with in the World of Middenhir.

-The Games UI Is Small And Hard To Read.
Which Is 100% Fixable, I Think the UI right now is Just A place Holder Until the DEV's Can Find A UI that is suitable for everybody.

it's just I want to be able to know what block is doing what to my ship without having to squint xD

-Need's More Stuff To Do!!!!
I understand that this is still an alpha build and I know they will be adding stuff like sea monsters, Naval Encounters, Puzzles, rewards and even Online!

But I was thinking on the events! What if there was a weekly event where players compete to have their ship featured in the next weekly event so that would mean players would have to work on technic on defeating certain ship builds

like maybe a player takes down a slower ship because it was faster to maneuver attacks. and the only way take out that ship would be to build a ship made just for sniping off blocks that connect to propellers and Sails.

and the DEV's could Have a monthly event to where they showcase an item you could win Like a Super Punks games Flag
or building block if their ship is defeated within 3 stars.

BUT. . . Overall This Game, Even in it's Alpha Build Is Fantastic And I would Recommend this to Everybody who loves Voyager games with a little bit of realistic Ship Physics.

I give this Game A 9 out of 10!

here is me playing the Last leviathan.
