I will start this review by saying Elden Ring is objectively a fun game, a good but slightly overrated addition to the souls series. It reminds me of dark souls 2 and dark souls 3 combined. The main issues of the main game is that the bosses are largely recycled as ganks and forgettable, save for about 10-15 (which, overall in the game, is a very small percentage). The dungeons also get really repetitive, and some of them are just downright obnoxious. Really, i planned to give this about an 8/10.

THAT BEING SAID, this game's PC port is garbage. It crashes constantly, the random framerate issues can last for forever, caves and the like have terrible lighting bugs that causes rainbow-esk color spectrums to flash randomly (which is totally a risk for people with epilepsy), and worst of all...

I had a save with 55 hours in the game, that became corrupted for seemingly no reason. I managed to even get the save file running whenever i would reinstall it, only for it to become corrupted again after i first exit the game. I ran every single save file restorer i could find and watched at least 10 youtube videos on how to save corrupted elden ring files, nothing worked.

In that file i had explored every nook and cranny of every area with an OCD-like motivation, i found items and areas i cannot even remember how to get to. I had items friends had given me, which are now gone forever, and to be honest? I dont feel nearly the motivation to play the game after having gone through this.

I will still play this game to try to 100% it, as i do with every soulsborne game (except sekiro because im not a fan of that one personally), but if my new file gets corrupted I will outright quit the game. This will go as the first fromsoft game i havent beaten, if it occurs. Make no mistake, I'm sure this game is great on console, but this experience has overall ruined the game for me. These bugs are inexcusable for a game that has been patched multiple times, but i guess fromsoft is too busy trying to balance pvp (which they are doing unsuccessfully). Still love the company, but this left a bad taste in my mouth.

Ive reached masters ranked conq, gm ranked duel and ive played comp and in tournaments. This game is aids, and it just gets worse, its time consuming as hell for no reward. Its unfun, unbalanced and meta ♥♥♥♥♥♥, every fun idea they come up with they rework, they refuse to balance duel and they release so many skins behind MASSIVE paywalls that are sometimes unbuyable after a certain time. Just trash.
