Overall i would rate this game 6 elden rings out of 10.
Usually roguelikes try to bring their own ideas into the genre, leaving the core untouched. This is not about this game, the developers tried to copy Miyazaki as much as possible(the game has a canonical level and quest design). With only one their own idea - remembering. Almost all objects store memories of themselves in special places, and when you go there, the object remembers its past and has better stats and new skills. This turned out very well.
There are few unique movesets\enemies in the game and they are poorly designed, often you will wait for a certain attack from the enemy and only then hit (hello werewolves) or you will often meet the same enemies only in recolor (less often in different skin) and with more hp. In the late game, enemies have problems with hitboxes, especially when it comes to parries.
