A Brutally Honest Review of Elden Ring
189This video serves as both a review and a critique of many of the core aspects of From Software’s newest game “Elden Ring”. The main argument I will be making is that it is a game that expertly achieves what many modern titles fail at, but it botches the very basics that its predecessors got so right.
To be brutally honest: Elden Ring is one of the weakest games within the “soulsborne” genre, and this video will talk about why that is.
