Elden Ring has been hailed as one of the greatest games ever, and not everyone can say that with confidence. The bar has been set and it is exceptionally high that even YouTubers like Kai Cenat were left speechless as soon as they concluded their epic journey live on stream.
Sarcasm aside, the American streamer did have his fair share of deaths and hysterical breakdowns that were all captured live on camera. The Soulslike genre is not for the faint of heart, and it could break someone emotionally but Cenat persevered and did not falter to constant defeats.
Kai Cenat Claims That Elden Ring Is the Best Game He Has Played for a Marathon
While YouTubers and streamers are not the most reliable people to go for popular opinions, Cenat’s quick review after beating the Soulsborne game is a common reaction from the majority of the gaming community. The structure may not be for everyone and the combat is a learning curve, but it did not sway the fans away.
Kai Cenat says Elden Ring is an absolute cinema

The streamer holds no hard feelings towards the game for the suffering he underwent on stream. Cenat has died a few times and some are quite memorable like how he was hyped to face down Radahn only to die immediately and let out a feral cry. The game tested his patience and his will but each death only made him stronger where it matters.
Director Hidetaka Miyazaki intended the game to challenge the skill and commitment of the players and it seems like the streamer has received the message that the director is trying to convey. Miyazaki refused to include any difficulty settings to avoid players having different experiences which would deviate from his message to never give up and keep going.
Elden Ring Is a Masterpiece and Kai Cenat Is Not Alone to Share That Opinion
Cenat also briefly mentioned that the expansion is coming soon and he may take the time to dive back for some more punishment. The base game is already challenging and it will only take a madman to undergo a similar painful experience, perhaps Miyazaki’s lesson resonated so well with him despite being bullied and humiliated by Malenia.
Opinions can change over time, perhaps there were a few moments during the stream that tested the streamer’s patience but it ultimately made him stronger and his reaction at the moment he defeated the final boss was the reward itself. Miyazaki did not make this game to hurt players but to forge their characters from within.
It may seem like a spontaneous change in opinion after the brutal punishment to praising everything about it. Anger can shroud opinions but it will blow over as soon as players overcome the difficult challenges they faced.
Cenat’s love for the game is earned and it is wholesome to see him discover why the game is so well-renowned for himself. Games like this can change a person and the streamer’s genuine joy from beating the game and he had the opportunity to use all of the skills he learned is rare to come by.
