Almost everything about this DLC is great, I love the new characters their questlines, the bosses, all very solid. But that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ map honestly sucks, I hate it so much. It visually looks good but isn’t fun at all to play on. The giant holes in the ground are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ frustrating (especially when trying to avoid the storm). Fromsoft please remove or fix it.

If you enjoyed Elden Ring you're going to enjoy nightreign as well, especially if you also like rough likes (which I do). Fromsoft killed it with the gameplay loop; its fast paced, addictive, intense, and a deep and complex combat system. The game allows for a large range of playstyles which are also really nice if you find yourself getting bored. Is the game perfect.. not at all, can randoms sometimes be annoying... absolutely. But even through all of that, and even if you can't find anyone to play with (try reaching out to people on discord, you'll be suprised how many other people are looking), I promise that you will still have a very good time playing nightreign :)

SEKIRO IS SO AGHHHHHH, SO PEAK!! combat is so satisfying and works so well. Story is super compelling, and seriously this game is so pretty. Definitely a learning curve with the difficulty but it leads you into it well. Play sekiro.. seriously... rn.. go buy this game and play it!!

I was not ready or was I expecting this game to be this powerful & emotional. Especially for anyone in a long term relationship, the game breaks down what that's like in a really beautiful way. This is a love story. Voice acting is really moving, writing is funny, compelling, and narratively powerful. Please do yourself a favor and play slay the princess, trust it is absolutely worth your time :)

I am beyond impressed the by DS Remastered. I was honestly expecting a clunkier version of DS3, since that & Elden Ring was my only experience w/ FromSoftware games up until that point. The level design, exploration, and connectivity was honestly the best i've ever seen in a video game. I'm kinda surprised that Miyazaki hasn't done anything like this since (maybe he did in bloodborne i'm not sure). Anyways, even being a little dated by modern standards I 1000% recommend DS1 to any and everyone. It's not perfect, but it's still a masterpiece.

I'm so happy I finally got into souls games. DS3 was the first souls game I played and I didn't really get into it, however I still really wanted to I just couldn't get myself to care. That was until I played elden ring which was like a switch in my brain, I got it now I understand why people like these games. After spending probably way too much time in elden ring I can back to ds3 and it.. was.. amazing!!

woah this was a really emotional game, the developers absolutely nailed the message they were trying to send. The blinking mechanic was also really cool, at first I was a little nervous about it and that I would miss things, but after I finished it I don't think the mechanic subtracted from the experience at all. Before Your Eyes is a pretty short game (only around 2 hours long) but is still one of the most meaningful and emotionally impactful games i've ever played.

funky card game

Holy, i'm shocked that this is just a DLC, honestly this could be an entire game all by itself. SOTE continuing the main game play loop from the main game in an entirely new world with a ♥♥♥♥ ton of new content, so basically if you enjoyed the main game you'll enjoy SOTE. For anyone worried about the difficulty don't be, 99% of the content in this dlc is pretty similarly balanced, however I know the main thing to be worried about is radahn... I can't sugar coat it he is hard as ♥♥♥♥ (yes even after the nerf) but I promise you that you can absolutely beat him.

Tips to beating Promised Consort Radahn:
- Get the max scadutree fragment level
- If possible try to use a weapon that uses piercing damage (since that is his lowest absorption)
- Get good sleep, seriously this can dramatically help your muscle memory and reaction time
- Learn his move sets, radahn doesn't have any major cheeses the only way through is to memorize his attack patterns (keeping my eyes on his swords was a good way I found to see what he's doing next)
- In your armor prioritize defense over offense, this fight is a marathon not a sprint, give yourself as much room or error as possible
- Don't be greedy, you should only be getting 1 - 2 hits per window (or healing if you need to), radahn is punish you heavily for getting to greedy

Those are all I can come up with right now, good luck tarnished

Saying this is ONE OF the greatest games ever made wouldn't be that crazy. Seriously everything in and around this game is phenomenal. It looks incredible, the open world is amazing, the bosses have this flow to them, the amount of content is actually insane. If you're worried about the difficulty or are holding off because you're scared don't be. Honestly before Elden Ring I was hesitant to try any of From Software's games before of how hard I heard they were hard. Elden Ring is an extremely fair game and I never found myself getting frustrated that often, most or all of my deaths were my fault, and there was almost always another way/something else I could try if. Overall, Elden Ring is a game that I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend that everyone plays, trust me this game (if you see it though) will change your life.
