Elden Ring. Elden Ring Elden Ring Elden Ring... my beloved. There is so much to be said about this game that I will try my hardest to fit in one easy to read review. Here we go!


This game is a lot like Celeste. If you're not a fan of dying a lot and climbing mountains, you will not like this game. In Celeste, you climb one HUGE mountain. In this game, you climb probably 4 (four). To fully climb these mountains, you will need to put aside many hours.

This game also takes some aspects of Hollow Knight. You die a lot, but you upgrade your character a lot too! The character progression system is commonly praised for being similar to Hollow Knight. The bosses feel like they were taken straight from Hollow Knight too! Some would say this is a bad thing, but I personally think this is an AWESOME thing. The boss fighting mechanics of Hollow Knight were spot on.

The last game that Elden Ring is similar to is by far Dead Cells. You see, Dead Cells has this system where if you beat the game in a certain way, you earn Boss Cells. You use these as a "new game+" mechanic. Elden Ring simplifies this, though. You instead have to just beat the game in any way you know how, then just enter new game+.
