This game is amazing! FromSoftware managed to make a souls game that is equally appealing to new-comers and souls veterans. Elden Ring is hard - you need to think and prepare for boss fights. You can't just go in swinging left and right. You need to devote time and learn how the boss moves/swings before you can take them down. I highly recommend the game if you have enough time to put into it. The more you play and get familiar, the more addictive it becomes. It's lacking the great creative level design of the previous souls games (like Blight Town/Sens Fortress) but the open world is beautiful, and some of the bosses are unique and tough to bring down. Highly recommended - game of the decade for me!
