having spent 200+ hrs across platforms, i honestly believe elden ring is almost the perfect open world game.

its just like previous souls games but bigger and way more accessible for those new to the soulsborne games, or who just arent that good at them (me) with easier co-op summons, spirit summons, craftable items, more chances to respec than ds3 and easier item upgrading, but its still very difficult

good replayability with a lot of variety in how you build your character and how you tackle the game, with some story progression allowing different routes/options
