Ofc its a great game. It won the GOTY award for a reason.
BUT it can be very hit or miss depending on how you will like the gameplay and especially combat. I honestly suck at Souls-likes, find them frustrating and don't have the patience to get better so games like Elden Ring become pretty much impossible for people like me. You really need to adapt and take beating to play this type of games. Be ready to spend countless hours and tries to beat one boss. Its not going to get easier and there isn't any difficulty adjustments. I played Elden Ring for few hours and quit. I would want to play it because its a great game in many aspects, but the combat just isn't for me and that's big part of the game.
On top of that I have played other Souls-likes before and honestly I prefer more of linear style like Lies of P and Bloodborne over the open world of Elden Ring. Elden Ring's open world is in a way easier, because you can just grind levels/stats to overpower bosses etc. But I felt like I was just wandering around and didn't know where to go just to die to random enemy and lose all that proggression.
