Elden Ring - 7/10 (one playthrough)
I like it for a lot of reasons, but... The trailers, and the main theme, made it out to be an epic adveture. Yet narratively it's still as dry and minimalistic as Dark Souls. They really should've made more cutscenes, the whole thing should have been more bombastic and melodramatic, enhance emotional connection to the story and emphasize the difference from Souls series. The endings, again, are extremely underwhelming and short for such a long and hard adventure, with only two unique ones.
Other than that, it's more fun and more addictive than previous FromS games. A lot of freedom, a lot of ways to express your self via gameplay and builds, beautiful world and cool oldschool map. The only dissapointing part of it are dungeons and their bosses, which are mostly copypasted. It fits thematically and lore-wise but you get tired of them.
Played pirated version (for obvious reasons) so there were no messages from other players and no invasions, which in this case made it all so much better.
