FromSoftware’s 2022 Soulslike Elden Ring has become its most successful title yet, appealing to a wide variety of people through its massive content offering. Reasons include the satisfaction of overcoming challenging foes and finding treasure with mechanical benefits, but it can also be as simple as exploring the vast expanses of the Lands Between. Elden Ring’s huge world has more natural and artificial scenery on-display than any of FromSoftware’s prior games, and players are bound to learn its layout to some degree whether they’re marveling at the sights or plotting a course through particularly hazardous land.
