Elden Ring is truly a masterpiece from FromSoftware.

The open world is breathtaking and offers an enjoyable exploration experience, even for someone like me who isn't a big fan of aimless wandering. However, I found the open world dungeons to be somewhat disappointing as they all are identical. The main ones are good.

While it's true that some of the bosses are repeated throughout the game, the unique ones feature amazing fights and cool designs. Except for Malenia, who is just awful.

As someone who isn't the biggest Souls fanboy, I don't have much to say about this game. I do believe that Bloodborne only looses in comparison due to the tedious process of running back to a boss fight. Thankfully, Elden Ring does not have that backtracking, which was a relief for some hard bosses.

While Elden Ring may not be the best game of the century or even of recent years, it is still an exceptional game that will keep you hooked for more than 60 hours. Again, only a Souls Like to make you addicted to the dopamine rush of endless retries and eventually wins it provides.
