What an amazing game... outside a little bit of lag here and there which the devs are working on, and one boss with a bit of bad gameplay-design because of an un-dodgeable attack who is luckely completely optional (out of 70+ unique bosses), the game is breath-taking and now i just wish Fromsoftware would make a PC port of Bloodbourne.

PROS:
- Amazing open world full of rewards and interesting lore and characters to discover!
- amazing combat and gameplay, you can make the build you want, and play the game how you want to play it.
- boss and world design is amazing, the art in general is astonishing.
- the way the story and lore is given to the player is subtle and encourages you to explore and do sidequests!
- some of the second phase boss cutscenes are just (chefs-kiss sound*)
- you can finally brag to your friends how you have played and completed a fromsoftware game (pro tip: dont mention you did it with an op build)
- 100+ of hours of content, I havent even finished my first playthrough because im being thorough and doing some side-content, but Im already 80+ hours in.
- weapon skills are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool
- I'm not addicted.
- 99% of messages are: hidden path ahead, and try jumping

CONS:
- some frame stuttering (this should get fixed soon)
- a few bossfight that rely on annoying chaos elements to be challengeing, also ♥♥♥♥ you to the guy who was like let me put 10 skeletons in that bossfight to make it harder.
- the lock-on camera can sometimes prove to be your enemy, often times fighting big enemies just dont lock-on just hit in their direction because the camera angle might want to look straight up or down when you are close, giving you very poor vision of what the enemy is doing.
- because of specific weapon scaling stats, sometimes making an optimal stat build means making many other options of weaponry highly sub-optimal making you use less of all the cool weapons you get along your journey, and with a limited resource of stat respec you can only try so many builds in one playthrough.
- sub-optimal mouse and keyboard support.
- I also might be addicted...
- I miss a few gameplay mechanichs from Sekiro
- My gf is mad at me for shouting at my screen after dying 20 times in a row.
- 99% of messages are: hidden path ahead, and try jumping

CONCLUSION:
Best game i played since Red Dead Redemption 2 and this game just keeps on giving, I would highly recommend Elden Ring to anyone who enjoys a challenge and RPG gameplay elemtents in a beautifully crafted would setting.
