Elric Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I'll wait for the forum consensus on this... obviously I want it to be amazing but I'm sure we've all learned not to trust the gaming press after Cyberpunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, there were dissenting voices from some elements of the press immediately on release day for Cyberpunk, seems like this is receiving universal praise.

Cf Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Guardian review contains the text: Games can be all kinds of different things, representing all manner of artistic ambitions. Most, however, share a common goal: to conjure a compelling fictional reality, filled with beckoning mysteries, enchanting secrets, and enriching opportunities to compete and collaborate. They aim to provide a liminal space in which a determined player can fix that which is broken, order that which is chaotic. By this definition, at least, Elden Ring is the finest video game yet made.

OpenC Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Elric is the honorary Soulsfather of the forum anyway, as I recall, just sneaking in quietly and finishing Dark Souls while me, mike and clay and possibly others were just talking shit. So you have to get it, really Edited February 23, 2022 by OpenC Eric :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elric Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Ironically the 'negative' from the first review, the lack of hand-holding, is making me want to get it more Ah fuck it, I'm getting it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Only picked up Horizon the other day, but tempted to put that on the pile for now and get stuck into this. Never had a Souls game on day one, but also have a habit of picking them up and leaving them after a bit. Bloodborne's the only one I've clocked.
