Elden Ring Launch Edition (PS5)

Product Information

They’re just people with their own agendas and goals, whose stories are impacted based on your own actions or inactions. The guidance of lost graces – should you find them - will put you on a road to re-take these lands from the Demigods through might and magic, but you need not follow their path. Each location holds secrets, bosses, NPCs, and unique topography to further weave the intricate history and lore.

The trade-off, of course, is that without any markers, quest log, or journal, it becomes very easy to forget about certain plot threads and accidentally leave them unresolved by the end. The crafting can feel a little overwhelming at times with the sheer staggering number of things available to craft. The Demon Souls remake helped appease the gnawing for a while, but even the powers of that masterpiece eventually waned.

Encounter adversaries with profound backgrounds, characters with their own unique motivations for helping or hindering your progress, and fearsome creatures.

You also have more freedom in how you approach combat than any previous FromSoft game thanks to a bunch of familiar new systems that are used in interesting ways here.This would give players even more options for customizing their characters and taking on the game's challenging enemies. It has been my most anticipated game of all time, and so the fear was looming over my shoulder like an unshakable recurring nightmare. Its imaginative and flexible tools support a more focused experience that shaves down some of From Software’s overly cryptic sensibilities without losing its air of mystery. FromSoft smartly doesn’t change much in its approach to these from the Souls games, Bloodborne, or Sekiro; you’ll just naturally meet characters as you explore and discover the world and become involved in their problems.
