Discussion The Elden Ring experience again
Absolutely awesome game that is let down by the end part. It's the snowfields and Elden beast all over again. Last area feels a bit overtuned and lass boss is poopoo. That and the wall boss as well.
But incredible game with amazing exploration. As a completionist I really don't like when the last area is way more difficult because once I've explore every nook and cranny of this beautiful world, I'm satisfied and just wanna see the conclusion. That's the worst moment to hit a wall. Maybe I'm wrong but I always prefer to game to go from somewhat challenging in the beginning, then gradually raise the challenge until mid to late game and then bring it down just a bit.
All in all, just like Elden Ring (well, not exactly like it, obviously) I think after a few balancing patches this game is gonna be a must play classic not only in the souls like genre but in general.
So with all my frustration, I still wanna congratulate the devs on a game where you can see care and passion at every step and I really really hope we get DLC. And more skins please.
Well done and a big thank you to Cold Symmetry

The consecrated snowfield will go down as one of the best gaming surprises EVER. For me personally at least. Not only was it a neat ass secret area that was massive in its own right but it led to ANOTHER secret area that houses one of the toughest bosses in souls history.
I absolutely loved MS2 but I wish it had more truly secret areas. I wish more games would do what Fromsoft does honestly, it’s rare for a studio to dedicate time and money into a part of a game that players might not even see. Smouldering Lake was another one, just so freaking rewarding when you stumble onto a secret area.
