Elden Ring has an open world that will astonish you, just like Zelda BoTW did. When you enter the open world, you are free to go wherever you want. If you want to go straight to the final dungeon, just go. Elden Ring is your own journey, and it doesn't hold your hand like other games. What you do is only your decision, whether it's exploring the Lands Between or playing it like a dungeon crawler game, it is up to you. If you choose to explore the Lands Between, it will present generous rewards and encourage further exploration.

Elden Ring has many good aspects, but its bosses are not one of them. The bosses are too aggressive and sometimes don't give you a chance to attack. Their combos become insufferable, and rolling consumes your stamina at some point
