[Elden Ring] Is the crappy game review true? Thorough explanation of why it is said to be too difficult – ゲーム攻略まとめ

Elden Ring is a work that has received high acclaim worldwide, but
On the other hand, there are definitely people who say it’s “too difficult,” “unreasonable,” and “a shitty game.”

Where does this division in evaluation come from?

Why Elden Ring is said to be “too difficult”

The biggest reason is the design leaves too much judgment to the player.

Not a straight path
The option to avoid strong enemies is not made clear
Difficult to understand the appropriate level

Many RPGs
have an implicit “where to go next”, but
Elden Ring doesn’t have that.

As a result,

Beginners get stuck for hours on the early bosses
Going into inappropriate areas
I don’t feel like I’m growing

An experience called

is born.

Combat design that feels unreasonable

The battle of Elden Ring is

Avoiding the premise
Enemy motion memorization
Forcible pushing is not allowed

The structure is

If you don’t understand this,

Too much damage taken
Recovery is not in time
Many one-shot deaths

This directly leads to the evaluation that “unreasonable = shitty game”.

Why it doesn’t get easier even if you level up

Common misconceptions that beginners make are:

“Raising the level will solve the problem”

This is the idea.

Actually,

Weapon enhancement
Optimization of step swing
Understanding the strategy

is important, and
level alone does not significantly reduce the difficulty.

This specification will become more stressful for those with
RPG experience.

Is Elden Ring a shitty game?

The conclusion is clear.

エルデンリングはクソゲーではありませんが、
合わない人にとっては徹底的に合わないゲームです。

Suitable for people

I like trial and error
Losing can be seen as learning
Exploring Attention

Not suitable for people

I like the straight road
Looking for a story-driven RPG
Not confident in reflexes

Summary

Difficulty is intentional design
Feeling unreasonable is due to lack of information
Bad game reviews are born from the “difference between expectations”
It will be the best experience if you match

Elden Ring is
a work whose evaluation is determined by whether or not you enjoy the “freedom that is not explained”.
