Now, dont get me wrong, i’m not trying to say that ELDERBORN is just a bad game , but frankly it is way more blown out of proportion by some people and reviewers than it actually is then you play it yourself. One can admit that whole DOOM reboot meets Dark Souls is a very compelling and ‘sellable’ premise on paper but both have a very shallow impact on the end product. Dark souls are solely represented by it’s weakest aspects like ‘UH IT’S HARD’ and ‘UH LET’S MAKE ALL ENEMIES RESPAWN AFTER YOU DIE AND MAKE SOME VARIANT OF BONFIRE’ , both of which aren’t what made Soulsborne games so good anyway. DOOM is represented mostly by attempt to imitate Mick Gordon’s soundtrack and fast paced,brutal combat which again is not bad , but in the end feels like just a marketing tick box rather than a true inspiration. It’s also important to mention that game is really short ( 3 hours short actually ) and has next to none replay value outside just bumping up the difficulty which , at least for me , again , is not what made Soulborne series to replayable. There’s also distinct lack of … anything really. Even in those 3 hours you pretty much fight same few types of enemies with few same weapons ( yes there actually are plenty of weapons in this game but they can be easily sorted into few categories and each weapon in same category is pretty much just a reskin of one another ) and last level , minor spoiler alert, is just series of arenas there you are swarmed by the same enemies you have been fighting last 3 hours. Super dull and uninspiring. And yeah, this game has most blatant Ornstein and Smough copycats i have ever seen Metal AF,” as in, one short instrumental riff over and over for the entire first chapter. This lack of variety flows through the entire game. In the first chapter there’s 7 enemies. The skill tree is 9 skills in total; very lacking and the ones I took weren’t impactful. It takes an hour to see the first boss. The gameplay consists of walking around press mouse 1 on things and sometimes backing up or blocking.
