Elden Ring was released in February 2022 and has been receiving widespread praise and attention ever since, best exemplified by the whopping 96 Metascore held by the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the title. The game's core gameplay is similar to that of Dark Souls 3, though Elden Ring differentiates itself by throwing players into an enormous open-world that is packed full of enemies, bosses, NPCs, and dungeons. The game also introduces a handful of new gameplay mechanics, such as summonable Spirit Ashes and the ability to ride a mount.
