Yes, I agree with you and all the game critics sharing positive feedbacks.
After Sekiro, I am currently playing Elden Ring from Sunday.
I am highly satisfied and the game is worth buying - it is cheaper than other competing games too.
I have a feeling Elden Ring might win Game Award 2022.
5 Things I like:
- Level Design and beautiful environment (I paused the game and was staring the views - sample gif below - yes, it is a Castle on top of a moving tortoise)
- Different Classes - players can choose what they wish to play.
- At first the starting map was small, but then its massive map bot on above ground and under ground.
- Using sprit ashes and call in multiplayer support (works in offline mode as game AI).
- So many variations of enemies, each area in a sub region of an Area has a different kind of enemy - absolutely awesome.
5 Things that could have been better (constructive criticism):
- Starting Tutorial was not that explanatory (especially for non-Souls player like me)
- Annoying pop up after item pick up (I am not sure if there is an option)
- Too much of items which creates confusion (relates to point 1)
- The castles were mostly like Bloodborne, the first location was like Sekiro (but that’s ok - most game reuses the codes and objects like the Assassin Creed series)
- Starting Game Introduction voice was good but instead of pictures, they could have used cinematic animations to polish it (eg. Hitman 3 uses cinematic animations unlike Hitman 1 and 2, Sekiro has good cinematic animations)
