I disagree, I love DS3, but I can respect this line of criticism. However, I cannot understand how anyone can criticize DS3's bosses for the lack of readability, while praising ER. For me, ER bosses just take the worst aspects of DS3 ones and pump them up. For half of the bosses there is a complicated pattern of random movements, which makes the game a boring slog as you need to memorise them... unless you use summons that make the game trivial.

    Upon reflection, I think I actually agree with you as far as readability goes. I think it's just much less of an issue for me personally because Elden Ring gives you so many options and so much help when it comes to builds and boss fights.

    And hey! Summoning is an important feature of the game, and it allows people with slower reflexes and less time like myself to enjoy the game! My husband did a Rune Level 1 challenge and made it to Elden Beast with his summons and his ashes of war. (He stopped at Elden Beast cuz he knew he could beat it given enough time, and just didnt like the fight enough to care.)
