TL;DR I absolutely love this game!
I never really was into the Soulsborne style games and even with Elden Ring, I wrote it off as nothing special. Then I kept seeing amazing reviews, and even watching friends who shared my same mindset start swooning over the game and I eventually broke and got it. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. I love everything about this game. The world, art style, music, lore, quests, weapons, etc. etc. I've gone through and gotten all the achievements, replayed all the endings and still play from time to time still. And this game pushed my interest into this genre a bit more foreward and I plan on going back through FromSoft's catalog and playing the rest of these games. All in all, this game is amazing!
