Game of the year in my opinion. Unless, God of war ragnarok surpasses the previous one.
Elden ring is not as hard as previous souls games, as it gives you the opportunity to wander around the place leveling up which makes the bosses really easy especially the first two bosses.
The world is just fantastic, vast and you can go anywhere it is possible to go. Despite the enormous size of the lands between, you will never get borred, there is always something to do, some new enemies, some new secrets.
The scenery, the atmosphere, the story and the history of the lands between is so engaging that you will find yourself trying to uncover just a little bit more of the lore, which is not as obscure and vague as it was in previous souls games.
Personally I think this game has the best bosses ever created by fromsoftware but there are some bosses that you come across more than once in dungeons and in the world that makes the encounters a little bit repetitive, fortunately all of those bosses are optional.
I encourage anyone who is reading this and likes games full of adventure mystery and satisfaction to play this game, and be sure the experience will be worth your money and time.
