The "Eldon's Ring of Law" that fans of various soul players have been waiting for is finally here! After a few days of playing, I have to say that as with the major website reviews, it is really a very good work, its completion is quite high, and from the game can be seen, From Software's good intentions, in addition to some optimization inherent problems, the overall performance of the game is quite good. This time we will take a look at what is so good about "Eldon's Ring of Law".
The difficulty is still high to masochism
Anyone who has played the "Bloodborne Curse", "Only Wolf", "Dark Souls" series knows that the difficulty of such games is so high that it is masochistic, and every player who can complete the game believes that the number of deaths in the game is incalculable, and its difficulty is even called "masochism" game. However, the production team of this game hopes that more players can contact this kind of work under the premise of adding some convenient functions, such as increasing the method of moving, jumping action, increasing the way to obtain special props for the connection, etc., which can not help but make the soul of the old players worried, will it become too simple?
In fact, I was still stuck in the first boss when playing alone, and in the tens of hours of play time (I am not very good at this kind of game myself), so there is no doubt that the game difficulty of Eldon's Ring of Law is still quite high, although the level increase can alleviate this problem, as far as the first boss is concerned, I raised the character to level 20, but in the case of single-handedness, I still failed to knock the boss down.
Open world elevates adventure and exploration
"Eldon's Ring" uses an open world to show the game stage, the sense of adventure can be greatly improved, and also arouse the player's exploration heart, unlike the "Dark Souls" series to set up a limited area, along the feasible road, in the game although there is a direction to go, but the player can still be free to explore and adventure around, in the process of exploration, there will be some fierce enemies from time to time, bringing a lot of surprises.
Designed with care
It has to be said that both the world view, the environment, and the design of the enemy are very good, and the brutality of the enemy is absolutely challenging. In addition, there are still many branches, secrets and other elements hidden in the game, allowing players to explore one by one, even if they complete the game once, they may not be able to fully experience the whole game. Therefore, even if the two-week program is conducted, players can explore some previously missed processes in addition to using different classes to experience. In addition, "Elden's Ring of Law" has put a lot of effort into the visual, in this grayer world, with a lot of brighter colors to set off, bringing strong contrast to the whole world, so that the overall picture appears colorful.
The combat part is familiar
If you are a player of the Dark Souls series, I believe that you will soon be familiar with the operation and combat rhythm of The Ring of Eldon, after all, the basic control of the two is similar, although the jumping action is increased, but it does not lose its balance, which makes the combat action part of the character more fluent. Although the use of magicians in the early stage can be used to attack the game with a relatively relaxed posture, if it is not in the right position, it is also vulnerable. However, the game is always based on the consistent core style of the production team, and novices are still difficult to overcome, even if they can assist in completing the level through multiplayer games, but the threshold is still too high to convince novices to challenge.
summary
Eldon's Ring of Law is arguably the ultimate evolution of the Dark Souls series, bringing the game to a new stage of completion, retaining the general difficulty element, enhancing exploration and freedom, coupled with visual effects reforms, making the entire game nearly perfect. Unfortunately, even if you increase the method of obtaining multiplayer special props, so that novices can also enjoy it, it will also be because of the difficulty problem, in this era of popular fast food culture, it seems difficult to persuade novice players to upgrade their levels and equipment, and even solve the problem of passing through multiplayer games. But because of this, "Eldon's Ring of Law" can be recognized by core players.
