Elden Ring is an action RPG that combines the best features
from the studio’s previous decade of work into one massive product.
As soon as you embark into the alternative world till your
dying moments, every step of the voyage is a note in a personalized epic that
will keep you coming back for more. The journey into the dark and twisted
fantasy is an infinite investigation, constantly serving up astonishing sights
that only get more captivating and fantastic as the journey progresses.
Elden Ring is not a theme park-style open world where each
ride is bolstered by breadcrumbs — there
are big areas, bosses, dungeons, and other huge disclosures that can be passed
by, making these finds much more wonderful.
Even after 55 hours of discovery, there was still much to
explore.
To start, the Lands Between realm is full of surprises.
Despite there being a clear way forward for those seeking guidance, wandering
the lands unconstrained without a specific objective in mind will bring about
unexpected situations.
The world is teeming with characters, quests, and dungeon
crawls ranging from tiny catacombs to gigantic multilevel tombs. While the
voyage begins with little caverns, mines, and other dungeon explorations, the
experiences become increasingly sophisticated.
Two-room adventures gradually evolve into teleport puzzles
or circumstances in which you discover odd methods to interact with the
environment, such as learning to employ traps for traversal or sniffing out
concealed walls. Even the most basic overworld dungeons contain hidden boss
rooms and treasures in addition to their usual yields, rewarding the most
inquisitive adventurers.
Finding unique ways to get to places that do not appear to
be accessible before the conventional path leads you there feels incredibly
refreshing, and more than one spot gives stunning vistas upon arrival. Looking
over a new location for the first time and realizing you can travel anywhere
you see is both attractive and overwhelming.
Some open-world locations, such as cathedrals, ruins, and
Erdtrees, may feel a little familiar from realm to realm, but make no mistake:
there are plenty and unique points to explore and get lost in for hours.
If you are a fellow Soulsbourne fan, you are in for a treat
with Elden Ring, as your character is extremely customizable. You can attach
numerous skills and scaling mechanics across the board, allowing you to truly
design your own idea of a roaming hero.
Thanks to an accessible ‘respec’ system, you can fine-tune
your character without worrying too much about experimenting as you arm
yourself with everything from exploding pots to potent scents to supplement
your ever-growing arsenal.
Combat will differ widely from player to player thanks to
the sheer diversity of builds, but the precise dance of melee combat is more
sophisticated and diversified than ever. The flow of battle makes the single
spamming hit a poorer choice in the face of a fearsome foe, thanks to a
behind-the-scenes stagger system that compensates players for taking risks with
time.
The open-world is magnificent, rich with flavor and
character, and brimming with fantastic finds. On the other hand, the legacy
dungeons are legendary, frequently linking to the outer world from many spots.
These manicured sprawls are a dream to examine, and Elden Ring often offers
numerous routes to go around these locations.
While several monster and boss designs repeat themselves,
the scope and scale of Elden Ring are huge, making the redundancy easy to
overlook. These designs can feel mundane and
monotonous towards the end of a short dungeon, including the repeated cave
troll or magma drake.
However, the general range of encounters leaves room for
surprise through the various expeditions; so you might come across a reskinned
knight, but you might also come up against something genuinely stratospheric.
The huge bosses, who are often found after the legacy
dungeons, feel like fantastic battles versus demigods. These spectacular
set-piece confrontations are thrilling exclamation points to an incredible
odyssey, absolute spectacles, and superb combinations of tension and triumph.
Elden Ring is challenging, intriguing, and enchanting,
unleashing an unrelenting flood of discovery and artistic vision for all of its
players. It is a truly wonderful combination of diverse gaming features that
all come together to produce something unique and unforgettable.
Elden Ring is not just the best game of the year;
it’s one of the best games ever developed.
