I was never a fan of sousborne games until I played Elden Ring. I bought Dark Souls 2 and gave up because it was too hard for me. I'll admit I was skeptical about buying Elden Ring but now I'm hooked. 101 hours in I'm still finding new dungeons locations items and bosses. The game is very challenging but anyone can play it if they try to learn even a casual like me. The voice actors really put 110% into their performances so did the devs. The game doesn't have the best graphics but it still looks amazing. The music is great my personal favorite song is Godrick's theme. If your skeptical about this game I STRONGLY suggest it. My advice to you is dont give up you will die you will get mad and that's normal. Keep playing and you will find yourself enjoying every minute of the game.
