The Real Review

People are happy to have Elden Ring on the Switch 2, and the core game is still a masterpiece of gameplay and value, but the mood around this port is mixed. The performance is a common complaint, with some hitting noticeable frame drops, and the new "Tarnished Edition" features like horse armor and new weapons are seen as underwhelming additions. It’s a great way to play a classic on the go, but temper your expectations for a smooth or enhanced experience.
