- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
I'm finally in Act 3, 78 hrs in. Act 2 has an interesting mechanic but I much preferred Act 1. I'm continuously impressed by how much has been breathed into the companion character. The narrative so far has built a lot of stakes. Honestly, this is tracking to be one of the best games I've played recently. The only thing that is remotely close is maybe Elden Ring.
You killed a character by mistake? Story is fucked up? No worries. There is always a solution

This might be my favorite game of all time, just hit act 3 at like 75 hours
I’m already thinking about my second playthrough

Man those reviews are well earned!
Only 35 Hours in / just left ACT I (first section) on PS5: But here is my hot-take:
One my wierd negative: The Camp location seems a little like a non-sequitor IMO - but fantasy, so really not a game breaker!

- The companion story-lines are very well written, and I love how they weave into the main storyline - sooooo well done - all of it
- Environments are varied and beautiful
- "Animal Speaking" is actually useful now
- The multiclasssing really makes for a lot of super interesting builds and progression
- Side-quests are twisting and varied and hilarious when you screw one up on accident and have to try and "fix" what you have done

My slow completionist playstyle is really going to do a number on me. I'm at 42 hours and still in Act 1
Very happy to see the PS folks getting a taste of this wonderful game!
I'm near the end of Act 2 and I don't want the game to end. LOL! I'll pick it back up soon but I'm glad you guys like the game so much. It's a welcome change compared to the reception of the Sony 1st party games (i.e. glad it's a multiplatform game that you guys are excited about for a change).

thats about how long it took me to do act 1 too, I did every quest available there and also redid a few several times. Especially Auntie Ethel, trying to save the masked people took me so long and I just gave up cuz it wasn't worth it
PS 1st party games are the best, but there are some good 3rd party games here and there
Yep, but it’s pretty difficult so I gave up, unless you have certain spells which I didn’t. You have to run past them without killing them, and once Ethel dies they break free from her curse and no longer try to attack you. If you do end up saving them, they thank you.
wow lol i just fucking slayed them. i did end up going back to see if the dudes in the first room got set free though.
I had to too sadly, they're way too strong and annoying. But I felt bad about it since they kept trying to resist her magic. Did you drink from the well in front of her house after defeating her? I always went back there after each long rest for that buff.
no i didn't even see the well. where is it? I went in the back (jumped up behind to her back patio and went in the back door)
