Elden Ring offers rewarding gameplay, a cohesive setting and gripping lore. Some of the open-world systems feel clunkier than they should, though.

From Software takes its blueprint into open-world territory in typically triumphant fashion. Think 'Dark Souls meets Zelda' – or, if anything, something even better – with classic Soulslike gameplay taken into a mind-blowingly brilliant gameworld.

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, and innumerable surprises, there are still bosses that I left on the table, secrets that I’ve yet to uncover, sidequests that I missed out on, tons of weapons, spells, and skills that I’ve never used. And this is all on top of PVP and cooperative play that I’ve barely been able to scratch the surface of. Throughout it all, while the fundamentals of combat haven’t changed much from what we’ve seen before, the enormous variety of viciously designed enemies and the brutal but surmountable bosses have brought its battles to a new level. Even with all the threads I didn’t manage to tug on my first playthrough (of what I’m sure will be several), what I was treated to can easily be held amongst the best open-world games I’ve ever played. Like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild before it, Elden Ring is one that we’ll be looking back on as a game that moved a genre forward.

Elden Ring is the latest hardcore RPG by From Software, taking the publisher’s famous Dark Souls games’ combat and lore, and merging it with a more developed narrative and open-world map to explore. The mixture works surprisingly well, making Elden Ring one of From Software’s most accessible games to date. However, the high difficulty means more casual gamers will still be better off looking elsewhere.
