I smashed it just after my mum died, 250 hours or so. Really enjoyed it. Can’t remember using a bow either 
Must have just been me being wimp not wanting to be stabbed up by those big earwigs in caves.
It was weird, after I did the magic school and levelling up 1 handed weapon I could destroy everything in a couple hits
Didn’t use spells, summoning, potions, powers, horses, smithing, enchanting etc. might experiment and run a new playthrough
I did focus hard on destruction and 1 handed weapons so maybe that’s why. I think some people spread the perks too thin but I read a guide saying focus on your specific things you want to level
I just beat Elden Ring and became Elden Lord last night.
I need a break from souls. So I’ve started playing death stranding. Only played through the prologue so far, but fuck me does Hideo Kojima make a good game. World building and atmosphere are incredible.

Really enjoying Cairn on PS5. It’s a climbing/survival game. It’s so good though, really chilled but also absolutely brutal. Proper sweaty palms at the top of some climbs when you know a fall might set you back a whole hour.
I spent too much time on this
About 220 hours in on Arc Raiders - fucking brilliant.
I thought I was playing it a lot, and I’m only at 100 hours.
Just had some horrendous Stella Montis games trying to do one of these new quests. Getting shot in the back and killed by ratty players constantly, was getting really pissed off - decided to have one last game and found a bobcat and two (!) aphelion blueprints haha, and got out alive. Made it all worthwhile.

I know streamers in general are lame. This guy is so funny but just a genuine dood.
Got a bit obsessed with this game now, it’s just so intuitive and mostly relaxing. Some bits are a proper puzzle too. You need to really plan a few moves ahead then execute perfectly before fatigue sets in and you fall. There’s some walls that don’t allow you to place any protection forcing you to free climb for some trinket or other, number of times I’ve got right near safety, tried to just rush the last couple of moves and paid the price. So good.
