I found this game largely disappointing, but I don't enjoy open world games. I loved the entire "Souls" series, and have played each one countless times, Bloodborne and Sekiro were both really fun to play, but Elden Ring suffers from what all open games suffer from imo, a lack of story. Now granted the story has always been obtuse in Souls games, but the semi linera nature leads you through the game. I did not even finish Elden Ring, and I dont care too, Im tired of collecting random plants to craft things, I don't want to ride a horse, and I don't want to just "Play Dark Souls in a Open world". This game was a massive dissapointment for me, it just gets boring. Its the same thing in every zone with just a different theme..now its blue crystal, then snow, but always the same,... ride the horse.. smack enemies with big sword on horse, get lost for 45 mins and wander in circles.
