It is no exaggeration to say that Elden Ring is FromSoftware's largest and most ambitious game yet, and that ambition has more than paid off. Even after 87 hours of blood, sweat, and tears that included some of the most challenging fights I've ever fought...
Masterfully crafted world and lore, Excellent openworld design that grants players the freedom to do things at their own pace, Intricate dungeon design, Deep combat and customization possibilities, Improved accessibility, with tutorials providing informat
Minor, yet noticeable, stuttering on PC, No support for framerates above 60 FPS and ultrawide resolutions
Elden Ring is not only the best action RPG developed by From Software but one of the best open-world titles ever made. A masterclass of game design, Elden Ring isn't just a game but an epic dark fantasy journey that no one will be able to forget for a ver...
