In the Lands Between ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal, the Elden Ring, the source of theErdtree, has been shattered. As the echoes of this conflict thunder in the distance, an outcast arrives. Once, their ancestors called the Lands Between home, but the blessed light of grace was lost to their tribe long ago and they were expelled from the kingdom. They are the Tarnished, and they have returned to claim the Elden Lordship promised to them by legend. GAME: Physical disc version, except for the PC Edition for which a Steam Digital code-in-box will be provided.

Is the game everything we all hoped for and more?’ Is what I would usually tease you all with at this point, you know, to bait you into reading the review. But: YES OMG YES THE GAME IS AMAZING! Anyway… The choice is yours. Do you crave power, or do you seek understanding? Decide for yourself, then build your character as you see fit.Other mechanics in the game are also welcome additions to the established SoulsBorne formula. With the introduction of the open world, there was a need to tweak certain mechanics and build upon them. Along with the loyal steed, there is a beautiful map to view at leisure. The map makes exploration a seamless process, as the amount of detail that went into crafting the map is phenomenal. The ability to place 100 of your own markers (from a range of 10 different symbols) makes it easy if you come across a tough foe you want to return to, or a fog gate you don’t have the items to open yet.

ELDEN RING, developed by?FromSoftware?Inc. andproduced byBANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc., is a fantasy action-RPG and?FromSoftware’s?largest game to date,?set within a world full of mystery and peril.Ye dead who yet live, your grace long lost, follow the path to the Lands Between beyond the foggy sea to stand before the Elden Ring. The lore for the land was laid out by fabled writer George R. R. Martin. And with Miyazaki’s incredible world-building, the two collide in a spectacular world of pure wonder and delight. Elden Ring has been set in the most historically rich world that FromSoftware has ever created, and it shows. The locations you visit are vast. There are underground caverns of sunken cities strewn with starry skies. Scarlet, rot-riddled swamps filled with corrupted, ravenous creatures. There are also more traditional SoulsBorne areas to traverse. All with the familiar lifts, shortcuts, weird NPCs, and doors that “do not open from this side”. In the grand fields where your journey begins, mythic creatures prowl the veldts, ineffable horrors lurk in the bogs and marshes, and all manner of soldiers and itinerant warriors are waiting for those who wander unawares. Shy creatures nibble on sweet grasses or scuttle through the underbrush.
