Elden Ring is an action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, released in February 2022. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with world-building contributions from novelist George R. R. Martin, the game features an expansive open world called the Lands Between. Players assume the role of a customisable character known as the Tarnished, who must explore this world, battle formidable enemies, and seek to restore the Elden Ring to become the Elden Lord. The game builds on the challenging gameplay mechanics familiar from the Dark Souls series but introduces a more open-ended structure with vast exploration, dynamic weather, and a day-night cycle. It offers deep lore, complex characters, and an interconnected world filled with secrets, dungeons, and powerful bosses.

This game has absolutely everything! It is extremely difficult which makes completing it even more rewarding. The story is filled with religious lore and obscure concepts. The game design is beautifully rendered with an expansive architectural world full of mysteries and rewards. The difficulty is BRUTAL but the games allows you to develop your skills around this and gives you plenty of tools to master the challenge. The design of every single character is detailed and woven very deeply into the lore. It was by far one of my all time favoite games of all time.
