Elden Ring may not dazzle everybody with incredible graphical detail like other current-gen games, but the world FromSoftware has created is nonetheless beautiful. The Lands Between has a brighter color palette than previous Souls titles and therefore doesn’t feel as stifling or foreboding as, say, Bloodborne. But the game features the diversity of environments, with breathtaking vistas stretching to the horizon and begging for exploration, that fans have come to expect from the developer. Windswept fields, occasional rainstorms, and lightning bolts flashing from the sky combine with a day and night cycle to make the Lands Between feel alive!
