GAME OF THE YEAR
From Software have really outdone themselves with this one;

A true adventure game, with the sense of discovery that is unrivalled by any game to date.

Despite the performance issues at launch that are definitely clear; between fps dipping and the game stuttering now and again,
I was prepared for worse thankfully I was able to thoroughly enjoy my first play-through of the game after exploring the Fractured Lands Between, I feel inclined to come back at it again.
With it's captivating landscapes, and awe inspiring bosses kept me scouring around to find the next new area, item, enemy type, despite however many times they, or gravity thoroughly bashed my Tarnished behind.

There was a midway point that made me think I was coming upon the end; I still had fog in parts of the map but I was determined to find every boss I could, I am in the midst of getting all ashes/incantations and sorceries, while becoming more familiar with the Land's Between, myself for the second journey which thankfully it gives you the prompt to chose to start it later at the hub; so you can explore around afterwards!

I loved this game, every second I spent playing was well worth the time even with the hard fought battle to the top of the Erdtree and becoming the Elden Lord I am ready for those secrets From Loves to hide away.

Well worth the wait; it felt like every kids fantasy epic played out in a nitty gritty souls/borne world <3
10/10
I am sure fixes will be rolling out for the issues that have been coming up to those who are tempted but not ready to pull the trigger maybe get it on sale, but the team deserves their asking price which I dont say often.
