Opting for a large open world Elden Ring is a joy to explore, boasting almost no wasted area and tons to discover such as hidden bosses, caves and more. The music as always is something to look forward to. The symphony of intense music while clashing blades is like non other, feeling the rhythm of the fight and the delicate dance between boss and player.
Boss selection is no slacker either, with bosses in almost every area and almost always a challenge to the player. Though some bosses are reused (eg. Tree Sentinel) which is not a rare occurrence in a souls like, but in my opinion reused bosses in ER are designed much better in terms of how they are changed and the placement of enemies to create a sense of "new" when reusing assets.
In terms of scenery ER might be the most stunning, every frame could be a desktop background. It doesn't lack variety too, from your classic medieval castle and grassy flats to underground cities and rivers, lava encased cities, diseased festered ruins and more.
Though I am not one for diving into lore, the story of ER and all FromSoft games are well written and placed into the game where it's not forced onto the player but there to discover if one is interested.
This being said the game is not perfect by any means, though I cannot pinpoint the issue ER struggles with replay value though being more open the previous FromSoft titles. The camera at points can also be extremely annoying when one gets cornered into a wall and the camera phases the enemy making their attacks much harder to see, though this has been a thing for all souls titles I personally feel a fix on a new gen title would not be hard, make the camera float into the wall as to allow the player to view the fight better when pushed into a bad position (maybe copium).Though not a particular issue per say, the difficulty of ER is lower than that of DS3 feeling more exploration heavy than boss and difficulty heavy.
As for should you purchase this game, yes, regardless of if you are a seasoned souls player or a newcomer or even a RPG fan, ER has something to offer you, if not for gameplay it has stunning scenery and lore, a vast map and banger music not to mention the satisfaction of killing a hard boss. And if you are a newcomer, this is a perfect introduction to the FromSoft games, being easier to complete and having a more "classic" RPG feel.

This is the second installment in the Risk Of Rain games, the first was a 2D shooter as this is a 3D shooter, other than switching from 2D to 3D there have been many quality of life changes.
QOL CHANGES :
The portal when activated you are required to kill a boss (or many) and charge the portal in the red zone that it puts out, this is much better than the system in the previous game which was kill the boss wait for charge (there was no marked zone) and kill all enemies to proceed.
Many of the items have been tweaked to fit the 3D game
Some characters that were more suited to 2D have been brought to 3D seamlessly (though mercenary is still a bit under other characters as he lacks range and mobility)
THE CONS :
The game looks amazing and is decently optimised, but once you get enough items and start shooting the game bricks, even with my 2060 it dropped from 180fps to 40fps when all items were active
The artifacts, in the first game there were artifacts hidden in secret areas for the player to find, and they could be activated before starting a game to give a augment to the game, though they have not implemented this yet as they are currently developing them for this game
The characters, they are all well balanced don't get me wrong but some characters are much better with their kit than others, take mercenary and artificer, merc has little range but a double jump, his dash is meh as he can be damaged during the dash and it does not go as far as huntress' blink, merc suffers late game as if you don't have alot of survival items he will get 1 shot as soon as u run into a few enemies as his 4th ability is his only invincibility ability, and artificer suffers from different problems, his attacks are very good but his one is on a recarge basis and having a item like soldier syringe is only beneficial to his 2 which is his charged attack, though his 2 does put out massive damage the downsides are that you need at least 2 items to make it work well, soldier syringe and back up magazine, and his final issue is that his kit does not have a dodge or a movement ability, his 3 which is usually on other characters a dodge is a ice wall, his wall doesn't black bullets as well it only damages enemies that you spawn it on (he is also one of the hardest characters to get as you need a lot of lunar coins). This is not to say these characters are bad in any way, they are just a little below the others.
Lunar coins and lunar items, the coins are a random drop from enemies which can be picked up and can be stored between runs, they are used in either the shop or lunar bulbs, the items are mostly a tradeoff so most are detrimental to your game unless u have rng on your side and u have all the items you need for a lunar item to work well.
To tie this up this is a great game to play, and is even greater with friends, though there are some issues and minimal content as of saying this, but there is a lot of replay value and though it's a early access title it is well worth your money as these developers are dedicated and will not abandon this game, we just have to wait for new content (Btw rex a new survivor dropped)

This is a good game based on the doom franchise as it adds a story to a classic title, it can be challenging on higher difficulties and is very fun on the online mode

1. THERE IS TOO MUCH MICROTRANSACTIONS starting off there is already versions of the game u can buy, then there is r6 credits which are a premium currency to get operators and content easier, also after outbreak this currency can be used to buy special event packs. The game also has elite skins which i will say are worth the money as they look good and add to the characters, there are also boosters and stuff in the uplay store which can be bought.
2. NEW DLC OPS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS UNBALANCED since ela came out people have known that new dlc ops are op and they are too slow to be nerfed, take ela, lion and finka 3 operators that were not only unbalanced but overpowered, i think the ubisoft people leave the new ops op for a while to encourage people to buy the pass
3. BUGS such as disconnecting mid game, joining a game but with no hud, having the scoreboard stuck on your screen, having the drone camera stuck on your screen or a black screen
4. MATCHMAKING as I am a level 200+ I am fine from this but all the new players that are level around level 20 always get put in my games, and half the time the enemy team is all around level 140 so they mow down the low levels on my team before they even have a chance to react

This is the fined tuned version of H1Z1 King Of The Kill and it toppled CSGO and many other valve games in a few days of release, but now after a year of the game being released there has been some things that were questionable of bluehole to do,
1. Adding new cases that could only be unlocked by keys to earn them even more money, but in doing so they have put off some fans of the game to other battle royl titles.
2. Adding the pass for the new map is a bad move as they are just ripping off the battle pass from fortnite, yet i believe this is as revenge for fortnite ripping PUBG off (THATS WHAT BLUEHOLE THINKS SO I PROPOSED A THEORY DON'T KILL ME)
3. The game has been out for a long time now so why hasn't there been any major updates to help with optimisation, this game was once running smooth but now not so much.
4. Adding uneeded cosmetics, there was already an abundant amount of trenchcoats U DO NOT NEED TO ADD MOAR
5. Region locking China, this may stop alot of hackers but ur also killing a part of a large community, China is one of the highest population countries and is a large part of your player count
Looking past these problems i still believe PUBG is a great game that people should try out just because of gameplay

This is a cool multipayer stealth game and is really fun to play recommend to all stealth lovers and people who like multiplayer

Goat simulator is a classic and always will be, The game evolves with DLCs and yet it is still glitchy fun for everyone

ClusterTruck is a game which combines skill with chaos and TRUCKS, this is a game for mostly people who have free time and that are not easy to rage as this game is a rage sim

This is a good game when everyone is offline or when you're on a car ride and you need to relax and do some fun time consuming games, or you can play with friends and do co op.

This is a straight no bs game, no story just kill (there is a rough story), u fight as some ionic characters form tv or movies with special skills to help with levelss, u fight bosses from a chopper, to a unkillable boss, to satan. NOT TO MENTION PIG FLYING, also this just a great game u should pick up as it's cheap and worth every dollar
