After 70 hours with the game, most of its story still exists as a hazy collection of themes. Exploration leads to real discovery, unraveling the world’s mysteries and machinations. The fact that it's almost impossible to answer the simple question "what is an Elden Ring?" at the game's start speaks volumes for its intentions. Of course, that's what you're told to do - learning what's really going on and what other paths exist is the real treat of this game. You're a Tarnished, a forgotten warrior tasked with ascending to the role of Elden Lord, to repair the Elden Ring, and maybe restore order to the world. Elden Ring sees you charging over hills strewn with giants under the glow of a skyscraping, glowing tree. It's a rumination on how the powerful suffocate the world to sustain their reigns.ĭark Souls and Bloodborne see you wading through dying streets and sewers. The main menu music sets the stage, starting with foreboding notes before diving into loud brass that conjures up the more grandiose adventure that awaits. While lovers of messed-up fantasy lands will get their kick, Elden Ring is a notably colorful and slightly more friendly place to roam. (Image credit: Bandai Namco Entertainment)
