DO NOT BUY Elden Ring - VERY Disappointing

Daniel criticizes Elden Ring’s delayed, unresponsive combat, saying deaths feel caused by poor mechanics rather than player error. He finds the barren open world, weak AI, silent protagonist, derivative story, and dated graphics inferior to Witcher 3 and Zelda. Bosses frustrate him with camera collisions and memorization-heavy deaths; lacking difficulty options, he scores Elden Ring 4.2/10.

This continues his pattern of harsh reviews prioritizing responsiveness, originality, narrative engagement, and immediate fun.
