not OP, but as somebody who’s done all of the soulsborne games by FROM it just feels more polished, complete - like everything was building towards Elden Ring. does it play a bit differently and perhaps a little easier in aspects? Sure, and I love that. You are given so much freedom. There’s so much to see and do. I feel like the world does a solid job of guiding you where you need to go. Coming from the segregated realms of the first Demons Souls game, I love the huge, open world. It’s gorgeous, the level design is incredible, thoughtful, deceiving. Like GTA V or RDR2 they just did a hell of a job of creating a sprawling contiguous sandbox for fun, lots of potential.
