How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Elden Ring
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.
