After years of building anticipation, Elden Ring has finally released, and FromSoftware fans have been blown away by the game's depth, open-world design, and unsurprisingly challenging combat. Elden Ring had a lot to live up to, not just in terms of its own hype, but also the beloved status of previous FromSoftware games like the iconic Dark Souls series and newer titles like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Despite the pressure on the new IP, Elden Ring has managed to deliver, with glowing reviews and high scores across the board since its release.
