Elden Ring is a new game from FromSoftware that is a combination of an open-world game and a Dark Souls game. The game is set in an enormous world called The Lands Between, where players take on the role of a “Tarnished” of no renown and are compelled to make the journey to The Lands Between and become an Elden Lord. The grand story is hard to fully understand on a first playthrough, and there is no in-game journal to refresh on the events, characters, or unique terms encountered across dozens of hours.
However, the side stories are more intriguing, as players naturally meet characters as they explore and discover the world and become involved in their problems. The game is all about freedom and exploration, and players can spend hours exploring different regions of the world and delving into mini-dungeons, fighting bosses, discovering NPCs, and leveling up to better prepare for what’s next. The game is a unique and unforgettable gaming experience, with jaw-dropping vistas, a vast world, challenging enemies, and rewarding exploration.
