Elden Ring

  • Soulslike
  • Open world
  • Action RPG

A huge open world full of ruins, caves, castles and bosses that can crush you in two hits. The freedom to go anywhere turns the difficulty into a challenge you can work around: if a boss blocks you, there's always another path to explore.

Why play it now

When you have hours ahead of you and energy to spare: few things feel as good as discovering a new place and beating the boss that guards it.

Who it's for

For players who enjoy a challenge, exploring without guidance and learning from every defeat.

When not to pick it

Don't pick it when you're tired or only have half an hour: it demands concentration and short sessions get left halfway.

What it offers

  • Exploring: 100 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 95 out of 100
  • Story: 50 out of 100
  • Thinking: 45 out of 100
  • Creating: 45 out of 100
