Elden Ring

Well, then I guess you won't have much context for my impressions of the DLC.
OP

I AM GROOT (and so are you)
Feel free to share them though, I am interested.
I liked it. More variety.
New weapon types, including unarmed weapons, light greatsword and throwing spears. So even melee builds now have a somewhat viable ranged attack with some weapons.
Also, new dungeon types (Gaols and Forges). New leveling system. Several hours worth of gameplay (36 hours so far for me and it's around half way done). New NPC quests, boss types, enemies, etc.
The new leveling system basically ties the progress you make in the DLC to the DLC only, all of that does not carry over when you return to the main map.
Overall I find it enjoyable, more Elden Ring to play. I wonder how they will top this with the second DLC if there is one.

Will need all to get the Trophy in PS5
What I realized now why people play a game over and over is to get all the Trophies in PS5
You only need legendary weapons IIRC.

do you mean achievements in steam ? that you can get in a couple of playthroughs. like getting all spells, incantations. Getting all weapons is too difficult though. You wont need to do this, once you find the weapon you like, you gonna stick to it forever.
Achievements on the PlayStation platform are called Trophies, in case you didn't know. Usually they will be the same as the Steam achievements for most multi-platform games.
Elden Ring does not actually have too many achievements. Except for the achievements related to the endings, you can get all achievements in one playthrough.

OMGWTF.
I always wanted Sekiro like deflect mechanics in Elden Ring. Though they had introduced a physick in SotE that boosts blocking if done shortly before being hit, it's not really close to what we had in Sekiro.
Also, is this a DLC or a standalone game? Also looks like it's coop only.

Its a standalone game. I dont think it has the lore of elden ring, but a spinoff kinda lore, similar to "what if" from marvel.

What makes me think is, NightReign, this is their foray into MMORPGs. They are testing the waters if their servers could hold high number of players.

I am thinking of trying the Samurai build and Pure Magician build.
My character is dead due to combo from Boss enemy and broken stance.
