This DLC is a perfect follow up to Elden Ring.

This DLC is absolutely beautiful, and has a vast range of scenery and colour. The bosses feel varied and epic. Each moment you are sucked into every detail as to discover more about Miquella or figure out what is actually going on here.


I cant speak of performance issues, as I had none and everything seemed mostly smooth at 60 fps (which is locked).

As for the difficulty... why would anyone complain yet again about the difficulty of a Soulsbourne game. Find something else, the challenge is part of the fun.

In specifically the final boss Radahn and Miquella are literally a lord and a newborn God, Radahn was and is reincarnated (against his will) into a new body so in my mind, it makes complete sense why this may be an overpowered and unfair ridiculous bossfight. YOU ARE LITERALLY FIGHTING A GOD !!!

I recommend this to any Soulsbourne player.... Epic Game.

Played this in PS5 Controller, now even though it is nice to see Valve make something Portal related again, the story seems meek and boring, not much content. Cant really recommend. Opinion may vary if there is anything ultra special and cool that changes the game with a Steam Deck

This is by far, my favorite souls like so far.

Before I played the original Dark Souls, I had never been a big fan of 'Hack and Slash' genre video games. But I have always been up for a good challenge, so based on various friends and repeated online recommendations and notoriety of how hard it was, I decided to give it a go.

I was positively suprised by the ominous and breadcrumb esque lore in the previous iterations as well as the great amount of challenge and interesting combat these games provide.

That being said, I was hesistant again to give this one a go. But after just completing it.... It has got to be one of the best games I have played story and gameplay wise.

At first you suck. Plain and simple. I had completed all previous From Soft games and I was very bad at this game still. I was dodging, waiting for an opening to attack and it would never quite present itself while I was keeping my distance, and it felt too fast paced for me. However with great persistance, this game has the best combat in a sword fighting game I have witnessed.

You really feel like with each enemy you are learning and getting better at this game. Truly capturing the real meaning in the phrase "Get Gud".

The clashing of swords, the timed parries, and the executions on enemies become smooth like butter.

Each boss fight starts with dread as you are thinking "How will I ever beat this boss" but with each attempt you learn, adapt and become better.

In Dark Souls, it feels different, you just learn when to attack, and when to dodge and abuse your opponents scripted weaknesses, but in this game, it feels like you are legit getting better and learning your opponent and how to counter them.

It's one of the best games I ever played. Great story, amazing gameplay, challenging battles, memorable moments, and superb graphics. This is a masterclass in game design. I can only recommend this game to other Dark Souls lovers and akin, even for new comers to the series. Do not shy away from the challange, as it will rob you of a beautiful experience.

This game had so much potential.

Let me explain, I love Borderlands, The original started with a basically non existant story, but for its time it was a revolutionary and fun almost one of a kind Looter shooter that was fun with friends and by yourself.

The second game improved on every single aspect of the original Borderlands, giving us one of the most memorable antagonists in a videogame to date.

The PreSequel, was much the same as Borderlands 2, with minor optimisations on the gameplay but very similar, but for hardcore fans giving us enough of a backstory for Jack to leave me satisfied.

Even Tales of the Borderlands had a fun and enjoyable story, which basically worked its way into giving Borderlands 3 the perfect set up into another amazing story.

So please tell me, why did Gearbox throw everything out the window and give us the unbearingly cringe and boring Calipso twins....

Yes, Borderlands 3 had huge gameplay improvement, gave us amazing new guns and felt ohh so smooth that I easily sunk another 200 hours into on Ps4 and another 100 on steam, but after all that I still feel like there was great potential wasted here. What happened to all the characters we had grown so fond of, why did Maya get killed off without Krieg even being in the base game, the one character who cared about her most and looked at her for the sole thing holding him to any sanity, and you forget to even write in his reaction to her death??? . Its just sad.

Another thing which leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that I purchased the Ultimate edition twice on release, First release on PS4 as I dont support Epic games, and then again on steam, so then tell me why, there is still aditional DLC which I still do not own, and must buy another additional Seasons pass to plaY??!??

That being said, what is the biggest sin in my opinion, and what got me to write this review in the first place, is the dumb bugged achievements. I have collected every single Eridian Slab why can I still not unlock the final slab in Tannis'es office. WTF GEARBOX, I am an achievement ♥♥♥♥♥, please!!!.

That being said, as soon as Tina's game releases on steam Ill be purchasing that as well.

As a person into shooters, wouldnt have thought i would be this into the game
even though you think its easy, to be good at the game takes time,
Definetly fun with friends and still a very competetive game.
