It's OK. there are unskippable cutscenes and you occasionally get locked out of going other places, skipping time, or generally doing something you want to do because story. I hate that.
And the car handles like absolute butt.
And the UI is also butt.
Mostly agreed, though I did fully complete elden ring because I enjoyed it a lot. Too many repeat bosses but the main story bosses were fun.
Lies of P... Yeah. I got to the second to last boss and just couldn't. It's parry system has like half as many acceptable frames as sekiro, so that's why it sucked for me. I just couldn't get the timing and it limits the amount you can grind for levels to make up for it.
Is it though? We are currently seeing the forced nationalism be weaponized.
