VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "There’s no question in my mind that Elden Ring is a great game, and an early leading contender for game of the year. The pertinent question may be "how great?", and that’s a little tougher to answer. If you're primarily focused on having a huge open world with more than enough content to match, and plenty of variety amongst weapons and skills to build and develop a character, then Elden Ring may exactly what you have always wanted in a game. If you’re here more for the traditional Souls-like elements - challenging yet satisfying bosses and rock solid level design - then I think Elden Ring is a game that has its ups and downs, especially towards the end. Overall, it’s hard not to be excited by what From has created here, and I’m very interested to see what heights this style of game can reach with a little more polish and refinement."
A new Inographic has been revealed detailing player tendencies.
Is that looking... less tarnished?
definitely looks like it's running more stable now. Here's hoping the delay isn't too much longer for those who want to play it.

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware decided to delay Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 in order to improve the game's performance on that platform.
What a name for a title with bad performance right now. Yup Tarnished Edition is about right. They made the right choice to delay this game.
The PC version of this game is having so many problems
