After putting over 100 hrs in this game I can conclude this is a terrible experience. You will die over 1000+ times and some bosses will one shot you. Even after being level 100+ and getting some of the best armor in the game as well as the best weapons it's still a challenge and I hate that. I want my games to be easy to unrewarding and not having so many secrets. The story is confusing and tells me nothing they just expect to want to become the Elden lord of my own volition and won't spoon-feed me exposition like a little baby. Even after 100 hours I haven't even discovered the whole map and underground areas. Granted I took my time to discover things but games should not have this much content in them. The puzzles are confusing and it's almost overwhelming how many play-styles there are. I hate that.

-10/10 experience.

Genuine Criticisms:

- Torrent is wonky to control and makes platforming with him a bit of a pain.

- Servers are probably overloaded or something due to so many players so the online can be buggy or I disconnect from friends worlds when being summoned.

- World can get overbearing and feel like quantity was chosen over quality.

Other than that this game is a genuine almost masterpiece and creme de la creme for Souls game lovers.

Since I started playing GG with Accent Core I've fell in love with this series. Xrd was a bit off for me but Strive is a big comeback for the series. I can feel the Accent Core hidden within this product with all the good things that came from Rev in this. Still as fun as ever and I'm going to spend a lot of hours on this game. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED.

One of the best fighting games I've ever played. French Bread has amazing ideas. Gonna purchase Melty Blood after as well. Awesome and stylish looking graphics makes this game look as great as it feels and after 3 hours of playing this game I already feel like this is a game I'm gonna be playing for a while. Much love for French Bread. Also please fix the net code for Melty Blood!

Addicting fun. With the combat feeling a bit like Dark Souls, Exploration and teeming life akin to the likes of adventure games like Minecraft, and a building/crafting system (similar to rust/ark survival games) that expands as you explore it's no wonder why this game sold so much at launch. I am hooked on this game, playing it by myself is just as fun as playing with friends. The world is massive and randomly generated, the mobs are plentiful and distinctive and with each biome comes some more to discover. A must play if you love survival games. I'm excited to see what the devs add to this already great game.

Big time recommendation, been playing with friends which always makes a game more fun. If you want a classic GG experience this is the one to get.

Well... 6/10

Decent, smooth as DOA5LR with some nice additions. Online's kinda dead now and the DOA community is not that strong. Possibly due to the overpriced dlc. $40 EACH for female and male character set??! WTF? Wish more would play. Would recommend if you actually like DOA games. Cheers.
