New FromSoftware games often find themselves at the center of a debate after they release. The debate in question is one about difficulty in games, as games like Elden Ring do not let players alter the experience of the game through difficulty options, they can often be seen as exclusionary and inaccessible to more casual players. It’s a fair argument to make, as some players would love a rich dark fantasy game like Elden Ring, but are pushed away by the game’s steep difficulty curve.
