TL;DW: Journalists played Elden Ring on Switch 2 on gamescom. They weren’t allowed to record gameplay but performance is really bad. Tons of stuttering and reportedly dips to <20FPS in cases.

      I don’t care at all what platform the game is on.

      That game is maddeningly frustrating.

        That’s the joy of it though. You bang your head against the wall until you learn the mechanic or pattern or counter and then when you’re in you’re 265th battle with Malenia and you fucking nail the dodge on her water fowl dance and stick her in the face, the dopamine rush cascades over you and you die in the opening of her second phase because you missed the dodge on her opening attack 🥹 chefs kiss

          I felt that. Theres nothing like a brand new souls game. The feeling of over coming every new boss in a game is magical beyond belief.

        Except for some optional bosses I found it pretty chill. Most of the optional bosses that are hard have easier ways of dealing with them, too.
