Not wrong, but it is just as much Dark Souls III 2. (and I'd say moreso coz entire cut areas such as "God's Grave" and various enemies from DS3 were repurposed for Elden Ring).
don't skip this game, it is worth playing for the story, lore and fantastic DLC alone, but it is certainly extremely flawed with many horrible mechanics and design elements, without question the weakest of Fromsoft's modern lineup.
The best way to play this game is to grab a second Large Club on NG+ and pump up all your stats to be able to power stance them. Upgrade them to the max and L2 all day long. Many good memories of literally pancaking people into the ground at the Iron Keep Bridge.
This game takes all the reasons I didn't like dark souls 1 for and makes them 10 times worse. Like holy shit I ain't trying to slog through 14 katana knights just to go fight a mid ass boss.
This game is massive in scope. I love the environments and I really love how much variety it gave you as far as builds. It felt like an adventure in the same way ER does and the combat is definitely better than DS.
Also it kinda got shit on for the level design not being interconnected but idk the actual levels here (minus black gulch which is actually awful) are up to par with some of my favourites in the series.
