Half-Glass Gaming: "If you're looking for something to play now that you've conquered The Lands Between in Elden Ring, here are five great games with rich worlds, bosses, and lore to discover."
ESTNN writes: "His past game marathons came with redesigned streaming rooms, costumes, cameos and other hyped additions. But the longest one of them all proved to be with FROMSOFTWARE's magnum opus: Elden Ring."
One of the best metroidvania titles of recent years now has an official retail release for both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.
It has a mediocre player review on Steam, sitting at "Mixed" with 67% out of 173 players leaving positive reviews...not bad but definitely not "The Best Metroidvania You Never Played".
Saad from eXputer: "Utilizing its myriad strengths and masterful design, Elden Ring ruined gaming for me in a way I'll always be thankful for."
It sounds like you’re just an eldenring fan and not so much a fan of games by and large. Which theres nothing wrong with.
The author's profile appears to state otherwise. I believe they just got a massive shock with Elden Ring, something that stuck around. To each their own I guess
Elden ring ruined from software for me....maybe.
I hope their next game isn't open world too...
I have yet to beat Elden Ring. Not cause it's too hard , I've beaten Sekiro, Bloodborne, Demon Souls etc. Also I could just make my character op but I prefer to play under leveled. It's too big. I beat Radaghan or the moon lady last then got lost, lost for years lol. I'm going to beat it tho. Haven't played it in a while
I platinumed the game but hated the open world aspect...started great but then after a bit you notice all the repeated dungeons and bosses...it got massively tedious and much preferred late game areas in a typical souls game than the open world repetition.
The ole “I’m so good at hard games I had to play under leveled to get challenged and if I worked that hard in real life I wouldn’t be working at Walmart”
? Don't work at Walmart or any type of retail...lol. But w.e. Makes you feel better about ya sad life 🤷🏽 lol. You probably just suck at games lmao.
I loved it but yeah it is just overwhelmingly massive and confusing, I don’t think I’ll ever finish it.
I would recommend the other games from From's library.

Doom Eternal on Hard (aka Ultra Violence)
Horizon 2 on Very Hard
Last of Us series on Very Very Hard (aka Grounded, appropriately named…)
Uncharted Series on Very Very Hard (aka Crushing)
Halo Infinite on Very Hard (aka Legendary, also appropriately named…)
Gears series on Insane (bring a friend)
Batman Arkham City on Hard (and remove the counter prompts… GL)
RE Village on Hard
MGSV without enemy markers and “reflex shot” (and forgo the tranq gun and still try to stay no lethal, if you think you’re Boss 🤙).
Control (only one difficulty, so it ain’t easy)
Ninja Gaiden
Vanquish
Really most decent games become Souls-esque once you go above normal mode. Alotta devs balance them well, so they are worth exploring if you need more Souls challenge.
