Elden Ring

Since I’m sorta new to the series(only played Ds1 and forgot it and some bloodborne), bloodborne has been a good learning tool to get used to these games combat. And since elden ring dlc is coming, I want to join the hype train this time around so once I’m done with bloodborne I MAY try elden ring next. Although I wish they stuck to the level design of yarnham more aka less open but still exploitable and interconnected, yarnham was so fucking great in this regard and it really felt like a buffet of great level design and exploration, I remember randomly exploring and finding the old workshop and it felt so good, or finding upper cathedral ward, or the forbidden woods looking back to the START of the game, etc. Just fantastic man but I feel like elden rings open world judging from its praise will just be this with the caveat of more bloat.
