  21. it was a bit clunky, a bit slow, the open

  22. world was a bit lackluster.

    Segment details0:47–0:49 · rev_0a8127083d560ac28093c8c96f4e7034_21
  23. It just had many problems.

  28. features of Elden Ring Night Rain is the

    Segment details0:58–1:00 · rev_0a8127083d560ac28093c8c96f4e7034_27
  29. fact that we've now got co-op mode and you
