Not the way I wanted to write my first ever review on steam.

I really hoped this game would be okay after all the patches. Even the reviews on steam were increasingly becoming more and more positive. Sad to experience that this game is still a complete mess. And before the Elden Ring fanboys and girls start to nag about specs, trust me when I say my PC is very high end. Still, frame rate fluctuates all over the place when I come close to bosses or in between areas. There are freezes, loading issues, stutters and lag like I have never seen before in any game I've played. I really looked forward to playing this one because the genre is one of my favorite genres to play.

It seems though that From Software either has a lack of competent Devs to create a good working PC game (port), or they just don't care about PC gamers and focus on console. Fair enough btw but then also don't offer it on PC and ask a triple A amount for it. I'm glad a lot of people can play the game and accept the issues, for the money this company asks I expect the experience to be a lot better.

Oh, and this is just the out of the box game experience. Do not get me started on lack of ultra-wide support, bad mouse / keyboard settings and UI interface etc.
