\"\"<\/a>I don’t know quite what to expect from this new From Software<\/b> title. I shied away from Dark Souls<\/b> due to its difficulty and only, many years later, proclaimed Bloodborne to be the best game ever<\/a>. Though I jumped into Dark Souls Remaster<\/b> and Dark Souls 3<\/b>, I never completed either – for whatever reason. While living in Sweden, I was so excited to dive into their follow-up, Sekiro<\/b> but never quite loved it. In fact, I never beat it. At the end, I opted for the bad ending, due to the difficulty, and I never even accomplished that. Ultimately, I didn’t worry too much, as the game never clicked with me. <\/p>\n

The PS5’s launch gave us Demon’s Souls<\/b> and…surprise! I never beat that either! Despite Bloodborne<\/b> being fucking fantastic<\/a>, I couldn’t ever complete any of From Software’s<\/b> other entries. <\/p>\n

And so here we are with Elden Ring<\/b> – which at the time of this writing sits at the 12th highest-rated game of all time on Metacritic<\/a> – and I’m on a new adventure. Odds are against me completing this. However, in its opening hours – which tally four in my initial sitting – it’s tremendously-compelling. I eschewed the follow-up to my Best New IP Of 2017<\/a> (Horizon<\/b>) for this. I will 100% play this in the future. Anyhow, as the new game starts to truly open up – I thought I’d share a compelling image from the opening hours. This is going to be quite the adventure!!!<\/p>\n
