Never played a souls game before. Never will play a souls-like game again. I don't like the level of stress where you play for 30 mins clearing an area then die and lose all your progress. When you save the game all enemies you've killed respawn. Oh yeah, you can't pause the game either. I am NOT jumping on the proverbial masochistic band wagon. Some sort of weird torture fetish genre. Elden Ring has a pretty solid character builder though. I hope my refund goes through.
