Yea I'm going to be honest. I'm probably not as far as you guys are, but this game is like a rollercoaster. For every awesome thing, there's some other thing that nags on me a bit. I feel like maybe I was just being too judgmental for small things, but they kinda just add up.
I'm probably sitting around an 8/10 as it is right now... but still more to go.
I don't think this game is putting Elden Ring in any danger of losing my personal GOTY award though. We'll see how it ends though.
