How the game started for me:

Now I'm not an expert at souls like games this is only my second game after Elden Ring, i knew this would be tough

Game start - admire the absolute beauty that is this game, watch opening cutscene and have an goosebumps running up my spine with excitement.
Cutscene ends *oh ♥♥♥♥ I'm fighting already* - have no clue how to play
keep button smashing - getting the hang of the moves
Game is like a movie scene and I'm just part of it - thanks Peter Jackson
Scenes end and I'm just *♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥*

I'M A PEACH and I'm ABOUT TO BE EATEN!!!!
oh I'm the chosen one i cant be eaten
I'ma beat some fools - I realise how terrible I am at this game and the first scene was scripted. Smack smack, dodge roll, smack, GET SMACKED, dodge, heal, continue the onslaught

*FIRST BOSS*
Sized him up- he cant be that bad
HE BEATS THE ♥♥♥♥ OUT OF ME
Saved by the small dude with carrots coming out his ears and nose
*I get my first SPELL* - FREEZE that b*tch - button smash knowing this big piece of ♥♥♥♥ cant do anything to me, I'm going to be the most powerful monkey. After the first fight of the game, i knew it could only get better and more exciting
continue on to beat this boss

The story goes as such each boss has a unique move set and character, each time you fail you learn the pattern and moves (you think you're getting better)
Then game throws you a curve ball and the move sets and patterns change and you become a wet noodle.
No one warned me that this game would consume my life and test my will and patience
I tried and tried pushed and pushed to progress - i gave the game a break at chapter 2 ONLY CHAPTER 2

When i came back i told my self i needed to finish this game, it deserved every attempt it deserved my frustration, it deserved the potential of me loosing my screen and smashing my remote to pieces. I pushed through, i endured. Each chapter had more depth and characters. *Now I've never read or understood the story "Journey to the West"* I was also told that Dragon Ball and the character of Goku was inspired by it.

Man this game brings out all my emotions.

I get to Erlang (What a boss to fight) - I've seen people struggle against him, I've seen people cheese him, I've seen so many different builds and attempts and the relief people got from beating him.
When i finally reached that goal of beating him, i shouted out loud

Every boss, every little nook and cranny of the chapters, every secret and side quest. Reaching the final boss knowing i had trudged and bled through every fight, every new character, getting every piece of gear preparing me for this fight.

Beating this game gave me such joy, and i am now NG+ 3 because it is so worth playing through again

10/10 - just doge better than the boss can hit

Brings back such good memories.

RATCHET smashes and shoots
CLANK provides unwavering loyalty and dry humor. Dialog is always on point

Will continue playing...

I’ve only just start my adventures in BG3 I’ve already got a solo campaign and playing one with friends. I haven’t had the same experience in either so far.

Possibly the most fun and laughter I’ve had in a game for a while and it’s a much needed change of pace from the run and fun of the fps world.

Thank for making such a master piece <3

Hack and slash, control servants, gather resources, suck blood, pvp, beat bosses, craft items and get stronger. Throw spells and transform into different animals. Massive world and beautiful scenery. And MOST of all build CASTLES. Nothing you cant read on the brochure, im just throwing my 2 cents. Best game in a while ive played.

Could use a better camera control, but other than that 9/10- Great game, still have a plethora of content to dive into, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of content.

Bring on the DLC

Breath of fresh air, some exciting factors and playability with friends and little quests and puzzles to figure out to be able to 100% a region is really cool. If you enjoy the diablo style hack and slash this quenches the feelies XD- Give it a go if you have the availabe regions

some of the best games ive played so far are those that make you want more, and nothing comes short of wanting more from this game. in a good way i mean! best game ive played in a long time. shows depth and meaning and all the potential in the world. i never played the first games, so im a new generation guy but it wouldn't be here today without its predecessors. cant wait for the coming updates and future plans!! keep it up Elite Dangerous!! :D

Game is brilliant, but there are a few things that need to be fixed as this is only in the alpha stage!! game has lots of potential.
