I tried Elden Ring game and couldn’t believe how poorly designed it is and why it has such a high rating among players. I went so far as to google “why is Elden ring so bad”, and discovered a giant Reddit thread on this topic. The post thoroughly outlined the issues I noticed after spending a bit of time with it. Weirdly enough, there is a giant base of cult-like followers who defend all the poor aspects of the game like their life depends on it. Never seen anything like it.

Its a very hard game, I do think some of the enemies should be toned down a tad but over all I like the game.

My problem was not the difficulty itself but the overall sluggishness, poor responsiveness and super unintuitive UI. The game is really empty and repetitive like it was designed by 3 people who just didn’t have the time to put any thought into it. The combat system and targeting are some of the worst I’ve ever seen. There’s no way to get better, just more lucky. This was my experience on PC - the gist of it, but I noticed so much more that I won’t get into here.

I always get destroyed just before I try to dodge.. it is very clunky..

Was that a problem with the game or were you wearing heavy armor? I have to ask this because many people who haven't played souls games miss this weight class system in the game which makes you move differently based on your weight.

I played on PS5 and if ran fine for me, I can agree the UI isn't the best.

I got the feeling that maybe ps5 controls were better. Desktop felt like an afterthought, really clunky.

Needless to say I won’t be playing it.
