Runs like dog testicles. I average 2 crashes per hour of gameplay and dip below 30fps with a 6600xt on medium settings 1080p. Will change my review when they fix performance. It's also got some sort of memory leak issue where performance tanks after around an hour of gameplay and the chances of crashing increase.

Worth a try if you can't somehow get over the graphics of the original, but keep in mind that this ♥♥♥♥ runs so bad that all the up-scaling you need to make it playable will probably make it look worse anyway.

Completely dead in AU due to dev incompetence and unwillingness to update the game. They killed official servers, and refused to update the game in a year. complete and utter total waste of potential.

The potential for this game is awesome. It's already functional and fun, it just needs more content and QoL. As I underrstand this was basically made by just one guy from the ground up which is incredibly impressive. I'm so excited to see where this goes

Unironically too easy.

Entire DLC was incredibly anti-climactic. When I think of an expansion for Elden Ring that has supposedly been in development for TWO WHOLE YEARS I anticipate that i'm about to experience one of the most insanely detailed and expansive DLC's for any game ever. What I actually got felt more like a wet fart of underdeveloped nonsense.

Enemy variety is practically non-existent. You'll spend 90% of your time exploring killing the same reskinned humanoid enemies from basegame. I genuinely wish I was joking. Messmer soldiers and shadow putrid corpses just pollute the entire overworld with boredom. There are 8 bosses and atleast an equal amount of unique areas in the DLC. There are legitimately less than 5 unique (not reskinned) enemies that are spread thin across the map to give an illusion of variety. There is not a single area even half as memorable as Raya Lucaria, Farum Azula, or the Haligtree because the basic enemies are remedial and their inclusion was designed by invalids. The only variation they throw in are low-effort miniboss-esque knights that are so unfun to fight you just run past them half the time. That's it?

Loot balancing is terrible. You have to kill MOHG (arguably one of the hardest bosses in base game, and something you do after beating the main path) to even enter the DLC. If you don't have the smithing stone bells at this point you've done something wrong. Exploring some empty desolate mountain with no cool or unique enemies just to pick up "Smithing Stone [2] x6" makes me want to blow my brains out seriously. Whatever space cadet decided to put smithing stones [6] and below as loot in this game genuinely doesn't deserve a job. At a certain point I just stopped exploring because I got the overwhelming feeling like none of it was worth it. The only motivation for exploring is for scadutree fragments and the pretty environments. That's it?

Bosses were the biggest letdown. This is Elden Ring man. Screw balance, throw me some epic boss fight that makes me feel like through blood, sweat, tears, and grit I manage to defeat a god through willpower alone. The DLC fails at that, somehow. I genuinely didn't take me more than 5 attempts to defeat any boss. And many I first-tried. I think people complaining about difficulty simply didn't take the time to upgrade their scadutree levels. Many bosses lack the gravitas that base-game bosses did. I have no idea the significance of Midra or his area. I just know he got absolutely slammed, leaving me with the thought "That's it?".

And honestly, ♥♥♥♥ it. Radahn was too easy. He should've been a 3-phase-fight ATLEAST. Imagine how unimaginably hype it would've been if the final fight of the final DLC for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ELDEN RING was a 4-phase-♥♥♥♥-you. It might genuinely have been one of the most insane and memorable ways to finish off this project. Fighting him would atleast feel like an accomplishment instead of a silent wet fart. This was the biggest disappointment of the most disappointed DLC i've ever played.

I can only hope this entire DLC was just a fluke and was only underbaked because they're spending resources on a future project. If this is indicative of the direction that Fromsoft is going in then count me out.

All the discussion of this game is INCREDIBLY dishonest. This game has literally *nothing* in common with morrowind past it's aesthetic inspiration. You will not find anything remotely similiar to bethesda game design or writing. It does not play like morrowind. You will not experience quests and writing like morrowind. People and creatures will not interact with you like morrowind. On a gameplay level it is an extremely shallow experience that won't compare to what you'd expect from games from the late 90's and early 2000's.

I kind of feel bad leaving a negative review because I don't have reason to believe any of this is the developers fauilt per se. But I believe it's important to act as a counter-weight to the overwhelmingly primitive discussion around this game that can only seem to say "it's just like morrowind guys!!!!".

Honestly, I might have enjoyed this more if I went in blind and wasn't constantly comparing it to a much deeper and rich experience. But expectation is the root of all heartbreak and unfortunately I couldn't stomach playing much of this title.

Visuals are great and gameplay is fun. But that isn't what i'm discussing.

Fundamentally this is an evil game. I have never played anything with this immoral of a story. Something felt off the entire time I was playing but it wasn't until I got to the end that I realised what message this game was sending. It was incredibly off-putting.

The genuine and complete message is that murder is good.

It sounds like a sh*t post or exaggeration but I am not mincing words. Throughout the game your mission is to hunt down and murder all of the inhabitants of this land, mostly against their will. This is because a minority of characters are bored of their existence and find life no longer worth experiencing. You may think that this is presented with some level of nuance, right? Some kind of alternative choices you can make or greater thematic story that makes you ponder the decisions the protagonist makes? No. At the end of the game you are totally and completely rewarded for killing those characters. The game tells you that ending lives is the right thing to do, and that they just didn't know better.

This isn't challenging art. It's not nuanced, thought provoking, meaningful, or inspired. This is bad art.

they made rocket league fun

this is a cool ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game

I'm not usually a fan of rhythm games but this one really clicks with me. Visuals are interesting and crisp, the game is enjoyable to look at. Tracks are great, if a little generic, Gameplay is simple but allows for lot of room for the player to improve.

I think this game would be greatly improved by steam workshop. It already has an in-built level editor but it's a little useless when it's so hard to share and find community-made tracks.

Cute fun puzzle game. Not very difficult so it's perfect for puzzle casuals. Maybe not worth the price tag atm but i'd definitely consider getting it on special.
