FromSoftware’s latest dark fantasy epic begins with the shattering of the titular Elden Ring. Your task, as a ‘Tarnished’ wanderer in search of grace, is to wrest the pieces from the claws of various monstrous demigods and restore the realm to its former glory. So far, the game itself feels similarly fractured, separated into two glittering halves. On the one hand, this is an open world reminiscent of Breath Of The Wild, The Witcher and Shadow Of The Colossus, a game of uninhibited roaming and looting, with most of the conveniences you’d expect from the genre. On the other, it’s everything we know and fear from Dark Souls, a game that taught you to treat every footstep like it’s your last: imaginative monsters, gorgeous ruins filled with vicious traps, and a meticulous, stamina-based combat system that requires sturdy nerves when, for example, a boss decides to switch things up by conjuring a giant magic hammer.
