Elden Ring is a stellar game. A portal into an alien and unknown world. There is no other game that I've played that made me take every step with caution and intrigue. There were moments throughout this game when I felt actual fear, and I had to psyche myself up to continue the journey. One of the most immersive experiences I've had in a long time. It was also just pretty darn good. It truly feels like a culmination of all of their past efforts. I may still prefer Bloodborne, but this game is undoubtedly a masterpiece. Recommend the big ol' swords.
