I bought Elden Ring with next to no knowledge of the game. So it was a huge surprise to see how incredible it is. Becoming used to FromSoft's style through Bloodborne, I was ready to embark on a dark fantasy adventure that would challenge me. And oh boy it did.
The game’s mythology is magnificent. It has some of the best designed enemies, bosses, locations and lore I've seen. Even without traditional dialog and storytelling, Elden Ring’s universe made me curious to see what I would encounter next.
The bosses are challenging, but at the same time the game gives you a lot of ways to improve and defeat them at your own style. I loved the wide variety of paths you can take while exploring the world at your own pace. In a way, the sandbox-like nature of Elden Ring has a charm that reminds me of Minecraft in the best ways.
The combat and gameplay is similar to Bloodborne. More accessible, but still insanely fun and challenging, something that makes this game series what it is. I guess it really depends on what aspects you are looking for in terms of universe and what kinds of enemies you battle in these games.
I feel like I am only starting my journey in this universe. There is so much to do and so many areas to explore that I can’t wait to check out everything. I highly recommend playing Elden Ring especially if it is your first Souls-like game.
Final Score: 95/100
