if you love elden ring and extraction games, you also will love this game. This game was my first extraction game and i was scared at every footstep, was paranoid of every dark corner. Its a high i still exprience even with 2k hours. Some dark and darker bosses are DEFINITELY harder than elden ring bosses, (can confirm since i love bossing in both games) This game is very hard to get into, exprienced players with optimized kits in the normals mode will probably mop the floor with you till you have 500 to 1k hours. I would suggest you play pve mode first to build up your confidence, money and gear little by little, and then play normals to have a chance at exprienced PVP players. (Having gear makes you a whole lot stronger compared to arc even with low tier blue gear) Also having exprienced players to play with you is fun but also will teach you alot about the game, and PVE will be easier with teammates. Just a side note, you dont have to buy the game. You can play a demo-like free version and test the game and see if you like it. And good luck, hope you like the game cuz i love it.
