Elden Ring is an action role-playing videogame developed by 'FromSoftware' with the collaboration with George R. R. Martin.

This is a screencapture taken at the start of the Credits.

Let us start with my verdict first. [note I completed the game.]

When I rate things, I always use a three-point system.
1 for Bad
2 for Okay
3 for Great

I must point out that I have very low standards and is easily impressed.
so it's very hard for me to give a score of 1,
and very easy for me to give a score of 3.

Elden Ring. 2022. 3/3. A product worthy of it's base price tag, It's an autobuy for me!.. Nuff Said.

Okay, now then.

My Opinion:

Elden Ring is a FromSoftware game, which means it's a type of game where you are told what to do to end the game, but will not hold your hand to get there.

what sets Elden Ring apart is definitely the lower entry barrier compared to it's predecessors, the Souls Series, Sekiro, and Bloodborne.

But like it's predecessors you will have to learn in order to succeed and in doing so, your character will die. alot.

The Story is a straightforward one, Become the Elden Lord.

the game is all about the journey rather than the destination. you will meet people that would help you achieve the goal and people that would see it fail.

and the world of Elden Ring, 'The Lands Between' is vast and beautiful.

And just like that, a new adventure starts, In my case butt naked with a club.

I really want to tell my character's adventure. But I can't... for it will spoil the game.
