    Elden Ring

    Elden Ring is a truly open world with many of the features expected from From Software games. Even though it shares some similarities with its predecessors, Elden Ring goes above and beyond. There are many big changes and new ideas that have evolved from the Souls franchise. In this Elden Ring review, we’ll dive into one of From Software’s best-looking games.

    Elden Ring Review

    The biggest change in the new game is the world itself. The world has a beautiful balance between peaceful environments and terrifying landscapes. Whether ancient ruins or dungeons, the game offers an exciting adventure. And It provides a great sense of curiosity and exploration.

    Stealth plays a bigger role compared to past games. You can destroy your enemies by sneaking up on them and dealing critical damage. Heavy and light attacks, dodge, and blocking mechanics are similar to previous games. A combat feature called Ashes of War adds powerful abilities to weapons. This feature is also similar to Weapon Arts from Dark Souls III.

    Another new feature is being able to summon spirits. Using the Elden Ring Spirit Calling Bell, you can summon friendly monsters to fight alongside you. These spirits are only summoned in certain areas and they’ll cost you magic. First, you must collect Spirit Ashes to use Spirit Calling Bell.

    Crafting now plays a more active role as you can craft a lot of useful items. There are many craftable items such as remedies, knives, arrows, or bombs. You can unlock different types of craftable items by collecting different recipes. It is not that difficult to harvest the necessary materials from the field. Because crafting recipes also let you know where to find specific materials.

    Character design is top-notch. There are many unique and challenging bosses to encounter. Some bosses, such as giants and dragons, have a terrifying appearance due to their huge scale. From Software is known for featuring excellent fights and encounters. So you come across truly incredible and surprising enemies. The game offers tons of unique enemies. Still, they can sometimes be repetitive. Especially when it comes to low-level enemies.

    One of the fantastic features of Elden Ring is the ability to ride a horse. The world of the game is full of dangers. Your trusty mount Torrent is quite useful as it makes navigating a rough landscape even easier. He reduces travel time between regions tremendously. The Torrent can be summoned from almost anywhere in the field and equipped almost at any time. He can also double jump. Thus, it makes it easier to avoid deadly attacks or go over large gaps quickly.

    Unfortunately, the camera can be frustrating. Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of your enemies around you while fighting. Gaming performance is relatively good. We have had an overall positive experience without any major issues.

    Verdict

    Elden Ring is so amazing. It is FromSoftware’s largest and best-looking game ever. The game offers an exciting adventure with a variety of brutally designed enemies. The world itself is designed visually impressive. This game is definitely worth your time.
