An honest review for who never played souslike games

Look: now I've finally beaten and got more than 100 hours. It's been pretty close to completion in terms of bosses. I don't know if I'll have any reason to download this ♥♥♥♥ again.

Disclaimer

If you're here to complain or disagree or you really like soulslike, I get it - totally. This is not an attack on the game. Don't even bother.

If you're here to have a honest opinion before getting a game you're not so sure you should, you're in the right place. That's where I was before buying it.

Don't fall for this "it's the easiest souslike, everyone will enjoy" crap. I'm up for any type of challenge, this isn't a challenge, it's a nutjob product.

Good points
• The game is completely gorgeous. The scenery is really well built.
• You feel the aggression and hostility intended on the game, not only on bosses but on the environment. Mosnters will jumpscare you. You'll have to take risky jumps. All of that.
• Boss fights are engaging - not well made, but engaging.
• You have good options on builds. Some of them are fun but you'll not complete the game with them, unfortunately.

• Bad points
• The game is a complete mistery. That's my main complaint.
• If you wanna know what each attribute does, Google it.
• If you wanna know about the lore, Google it.
• If you wanna know where the quest npc is hinting you (they'll never tell you, rest assured), Google it.
• If you wanna know how to get to some boss I'm looking at you, Malenia and your "hidden" medallion for an elevator , Google it.
• If you wanna know how can you be stronger, Google it.
• If you wanna know how to get to the next region, Google it.
• New symbol on your screen? Google it.
• New symbol under your character? Google it.
• Vaguely written quest dialogue with important answer? Google it.
• New debuff of 10% HP reduction? Google it. Spoiler: it was because you rested your head on a woman in the only safe place of the game.
• Got a new item who says it functions just like another item - except you don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ know what the other item do? Google it.
• If you're not careful, some random lv 200 dude will invade you and kick the ♥♥♥♥ out of your character in the early zones.

Nothing will ever be HINTED to you. You'll have to just explore the ♥♥♥♥ out of a ginomoursly big game until you forget what you're doing and hopefully gets something else to do.

tldr; You'll have no sense of progression, no way to know any single ♥♥♥♥ of this game.

Neutral (?) points
• In online mode, you'll get several tips from players. This is 60% useful. Most of the time they're hinting something the game should've explained to you.
• Invocations are helpful but won't get you so far as people say. They aren't an "easy mode". Don't fall for that too.
• Most people will tell you to play as an Int/Arc build if you're looking for an easy way. This isn't an easy way. You'll feel better playing what type you like.
• Game is full with easter eggs - but they get boring since everything is a easteregg in the game.
• It's a nice place to hang around if you got no intention of acomplishing something.

Final Thoughts

The game have everything to be good. If you have a long term relationship with soulslike, you'll probably love it.

But if you're looking on what should be a hard RPG and thinking you should spend $60, think twice. This isn't a hard RPG. This is a game intended to be played without any kind of helpful content. Not even explaining mechanics. And you won't find any help in the community explaining. Afterall every soulslike and mostly Elden Ring communities are a circlejerk who will ♥♥♥♥ in anyone trying to understand something the game should've explained.

If you're fine no understanding a single thing or having to reach for google every two hours for something that is a "Hidden item" or a "Mystery quest" or "Enigma" and it's just some item you have to progress or how the ♥♥♥♥ did you get instakilled - you'll be fine playing it.

If not, you'll be just like me: you'll wanna beat the game so bad just to be able to break the circlejerk and say it's one of the worse gaming experiences you had.

Pro player tip: there's a mod for an "easy game mode" That's probably the best way to enjoy the game if you don't care about achievements.

Comprei e joguei 3 dias sem parar, dormi e voltei pra jogar mais 2 dias. Basicamente joguei o que restava das minhas férias nesse diabo de jogo. Voltei a trabalhar e só pensava nele. Estejam avisados.

Todo ano que me fizerem refazer um review para ganhar algo voltarei aqui e direi que ConcernedApe é um dos maiores seres humanos vivos que temos hoje.

Edit 1.6: o jogo só melhora, agora atingi perfeição e ele ainda surpreende positivamente. Compraria 3x se necessário.

Don't know if I've played it ennough to make a good review, but I know something about the game.

Very interesting. I've been playing this one for some time but I don't seem to end it. Got some hours in it but never even got into a DLC yet since the vanilla content never ends. So far it's one of the best games I've played. A well-desgined MMO that I could get to play with minimum person-to-person contact, so it's perfect. The PvP really takes a whole mechanic in consideration, so it's not just about damage dealing and whatever. Dungeons are well developed but people sometimes can be douches in it. Not a game problem by the way. Most important, it really gets in the lore and imersion, much more than expected for a MMO. Much more than Skyrim, for a comparison. And it always play the nostalgic card, something that gets into someone that have played Morrowind and Oblivion.

But that's it, one of the best games I've ever played. Definitely the best MMO. But I'd have to play the DLCs and expansions to have a full analysis.

Simplesmente atemporal. É um jogo que não envelhece pra ser jogado em multiplayer, single player, survival ou construção livre e história. Obra-prima do gênero.
