Elden Ring, I get why the game appeals to so many people, but the entire Soulsborne series as a whole just doesn't appeal to me (because of gameplay style and fantasy setting).
I don't know what people see in that game. Friends talked me into buying it, and it just feels like it's punishing you for playing it.
First boss annihilates you. Okay, that was an intentional thing. First thing you encounter after that annihilates you. Okay, that's showing that some enemies aren't meant to be fought. There are some soldiers, they aren't too bad, then after you get past them there's a boss that annihilates you. Well let's go exploring, found myself in a swamp where just being there kills you.
Okay, that isn't fun.
Go this way you're dead, go that way you're dead, try something new you're dead, explore you're dead.
