2 is very cheap and has strange and clunky controls indeed, specially for rolling/dodging. Rest assured the controls of Demon Souls are very good, fluid and responsive as should be expected from a proper PS5 game

Bloodborne is brilliant, albeit a little constrained. I like to have options in builds and playstyle and honestly always felt like Bloodborne don't offer it, otherwise 10/10 game for me. Dark Souls 3 offers a shit tons of options to make builds, but not every one of them are viable, seems a game that is not well thought to a builds, with the intelligence builds being particularly unreliable for most of the game. 

Elden Ring completely trumps both in this aspect. I have 4 saves (an intelligence build, an arcane build, and str/faith build and a dex build) and ALL them are not only viable, but also absolutely fun to play. The amount of depth and richness in the weapons, builds and overall combat is far beyond anything else in game industry. It's not the game of the generation is the game of the life! 

I would agree with you about  Elden Ring  if it had  a story that wasn't so bad, and had some interesting characters. Like i been playing for 70 hours and have no clue to whats's going on. Side quests for NPC's are hard to understand and follow with out using a guide which sucks. I much prefer the way sikero tells the story where i don't need to watch a youtube video to understand whats's going on, and even then it's till hard to understand. 

I find the story fantastic too. It's very Martin-like, it's basically family soap opera drama with demigods, really screams A Song of Ice and Fire to me. I don't find it hard to understand at all, you just need to patiently talk to NPCs and out the pieces together 

But I agree many NPC quests are impossible to do without a guide. First because you don't how how to trigger them, and don't have any update whatsoever about its status. There are way too many of them (I guess more than 20), the odds is that you won't finish more than 5 if you play blindly. I remember I somehow managed to go too far in Rannis quest (the longest of the game imo) playing blindly, but at some point she basically vanished and I never found her again

Then I given up and decided to look for a tutorial, and seems like I needed to go to Hanni's mom, Rennala, chamber, open a chest and get a ring in order to proceed the quest, that's close to impossible to do without looking for a guide, I get they wanted to make things hard, but they should at least give better clues. I did it anyway and got the Hanni's ending, which is my favorite ending so it was worth it
