Love this game to death! One of my all time favorites. While there are some pacing issues, and exploration can be a bit tedious, the well crafted lore, weapons and bosses keep me coming back. 10/10.

Elden ring is one of my favorite games of all time. It was my first FromSoft game, and I truly believe it's one of the greatest games ever made. This dlc though? It's rough to say the least.

As many people have stated, the art is beautiful and a lot of the new items are pretty cool and fun. I've enjoyed this new variety of items, some of which are incredibly powerful.

Now for the bad. First of all, the exploration sucks ass! It's even worse than the base game, because 90% of locations arent even close to interesting. Run through it all and you'll be fine. Speaking of running through, it's all I really wanna do as most of the new enemy types are far too tanky or deal far too much damage, making them a slog to take down.

This problem also applies to the bosses. Massive, hulking health bars that put the likes of the Fire Giant to shame! And the combos they pull off are all so samey. Chain of combos, into a tricky roll catcher, into a finisher, which then gives you the attack window to graze their pinky if you're fast enough.

Some may call this a skill issue, which is a pretty common statement in this community. I have however beaten most bosses without any help, and those I did ask for help on were just ridicolous.

Before I finish it off, I also want to ♥♥♥♥ on the scaling system. Collecting what's essentially a bunch of golden seeds across the map to have enough attack and defense is incredibly tedious and I will never do so again if I don't have to.

4/10, Go play Sekiro if you want these sort of bosses.

This game helped me a lot during a hard time. Getting lost in this story also taught me a few things about people, which actually helped me break out of some toxic relationships and improve my charisma. This game was the greatest coping mechanism I coukd've asked for. I even managed to drop self harm for a few weeks. Thank you Rockstar.

Alright listen up, I just beat the game 20 minutes ago so this is gonna be straight from the heart. The story of this game is one of the best i've ever played. I love all the characters and their designs. This game is just so amazing and I'm so sad that it was over so soon. I'm not one to cry but i sat down and cried for a good 15 minutes while i watched the credits roll. I've never fallen this much in love with the characters of a game. all in all 10/10 story. I dont care much for the controls and such but i enjoyed the gameplay 95% of the time.
