Started Elden Ring this year still continuing the story. Beat Godrick,Radahn, Rennala so far and entered Leyndell Capital just now. The way I play souls like game is to follow guides and go for a specific build from the start to make myself very OP. Most of my time is spent chasing a specific armor, weapon, talisman or spell. All the major bosses I beat them on first try so far. I watch speed runs and OP build guides and combine strategy to make my character super overpowered.
Bought Hogwarts deluxe edition so had access to it 3days in advance. Was fun and lot easier than Elden ring. Finished it in a week.
Was really into Escape from Tarkov for 3 wipes. But after seeing g0at's video on cheaters I am taking a break from it until something major is fixed. I dont mind a ring 0 anti cheat similar to vanguard. But a super stressful game like tarkov needs proper anticheat. No game beats the difficulty of tarkov IMO.
