Honestly, the whole game is great and time investing. I would recommend this game to anyone into Souls games or open-world. However, this game is not a masterpiece. It has a lot of issues with performance, especially in the DLC area. It's 2024 now and the game still doesn't have an unlocked framerate and ultrawide support. Secondly lot of enemies in the late game and most in the DLC don't fit into Elden ring. They feel lot fast, that you'd tend to roll spam your way after the enemy combo. It's as if the enemies are as fast as the enemies in Bloodborne or Sekiro, while your character moves as fast as Dark Souls 3. Melania is one of such bosses where deflecting her would have made the fight much better(now there is a deflecting tear in the DLC, which should have been a talisman instead). Had this game had a movement similar to Bloodborne would have rated a little higher. Lastly, the camera is still terrible when fighting large enemies like trolls or dragons, which is very easy to fix by panning the camera further away from your character. Overall a 7/10 from my side.

If the game feels tough do use the summons. The entire game can feel like dragon's dogma when a group of 3 and a mimic tear does damage to a super tanky boss (Promised Consort Radhan looking at both of you).
