Quite possibly game of the year To say that this game managed to live up to the hype is not enought as a compliment to describe what an amazing expierence this truly is.
This game really is something special, instead of outstanding graphics we get outstanding art direction, instead of typical old fashioned open world expierence with all the quests we get an expierence full of philosophy and freedom that allows us to discover and do things the way we want giving more rewarding expierence.
And of course we get good old souls game formula of different difficult bosses ,mobs and mechanics instead of new and innovative game mechanics that other developers desperately try to add in their games with no success.
Why ? Because its simply not needed.
Despite everything I mentioned above everyone is loving Elden Ring, the ultimate risk of open world souls game paid off and I couldn't be happier. This game will be remembered for years to come and might aswell grab game of year status along the way.
