Hell-divers was great, Masterpiece even. Sony just had to ♥♥♥♥ it up :)

Its a pretty good game but needs alot of work.

Cons :
biggest issue the game has in my opinion is the "Over-world" & the "Resource Grind", the over-world map view is laggy as F , needs a lot of work and fine tuning. I also for some reason don't like the over-world but that's my Opinion, however others might like it.

The issue with the resources is that even though it is fun to grind you just need a bit too much to be able to build. Some things to craft also seem pointless like potions and foods since as long as you have some mana and get the healing perk that's all you need .

Another issue although not as bad , is the "Events".I really wish there was a marker when you enter the area that tells you HEY , event is this way. ive spent like an hour looking for an event in an area to never find it, it also might be bugged who knows.

Other smaller issues are performance and overall bugs, makes the game feel tedious like instead of playing a game you just try to play around weird bugs.

Pros:

This game has the Potential to be a masterpiece , there is a lot of groundwork that makes the game great! especially the Combat, Mobs , Magic is awesome , resource collecting is fun, and so far like the ambiance of the game.

Its seems you can play this game on a fairly weaker PC which will be better for Accessibility as soon as the game is well calibrated .

I like the RPG elements such as alot of the Talents are fun to play with and experiment . which is in my opinion the best part of the game . Abilities , talents , combines with the combat FEEL is what makes this game playable & re-playable regardless of its messy buggy , unpolished state!

Maps are alot bigger than i expected , and i actually like the mounts .

Main story is simple but good enough in my opinion to drive the game . like skyrim you dont need a complex main story . A simple big bad guy we need to kill is good enough so long as there is alternative content .


Overall this game can end up being an unfinished FLOP, with a very small niche player base , or an RPG masterpiece that's unique in its own right. Either way i got my moneys worth!

I love this game , here is why:
The graphics: 10/10
Setting: 10/10
Combat: 8/10: needs some work could feel janky at times
Story: who cares: 10/10 :P
Weapons/spells/Options: 9/10: has alot of options however its obvious that the best way to play this game is with magic or more specifically Radiance dmg. which makes it hard to pick anything else.
Bugs / graphical glitches: 7/10 there are some issues here , however i have a 3080RTX so my experience was alot better than others.
Bosses: 6/10. a little too easy & some of their mechanics are annoying. they are fun to fight but a bit too easy, however to be fair ive played alot of Souls like games .
Mob variety 8/10: there are alot of enemy types, never felt like i need more and every one has different mechanics that are interesting.
Game time : Long - if you wanna do everything im guessing around 70H. if you dont count NEW game plus.
Price : Expensive but worth it. this game is for High end to Mid end gaming PCs.

its actually a 500$ value game but sold at 70 $ :)

A better game than some triple AAA games out there ! 100% fun and 0% time waste on useless mechanics. No hand holding , no pointless hours of listing to half assed dialogue. just Pure gameplay . And its costs like what 4-5$ ? WOW , just buy it!

its the best strategy game out on the market. and has the MOST content & variety in any strategy game period. everything in this game is amazing, bug are whatever idk why people cry so much from the bugs. only negative thing i could say is the price . its way to expensive , but they know they have a monopoly of the market so they keep increasing its price. It can be cheaper/better if there is any competition , but so far there is NONE.

this game has one of the best Combat ive ever seen ! amazing characters with complex way to style on your enemies or you can also be simple and spam one Button and still win :P . only one thing to criticize, this needs a NEW game mode where you restart the game fresh!

just buy it ,play it , and praise the Gaming Gods for it :) .

Great game , nice story , amazing character and world design.
only issue after 30+ hours gameplay gets repetitive .

Elden Ring is a Masterpiece .
best RPG-Open world ive ever played.
