1. Elden Ring

A dollop of Dark Souls. A dash of Breath of the Wild. Build variety that would compete with Path of Exile. And, of course, an incredible expansion with the most devious challenges yet. FromSoftware’s Elden Ring has its imperfections, but they pale in comparison to the sheer majesty of its art direction, boss design, combat, environments, dungeons, and so much more.
That feeling of emerging into Limgrave for the first time and trying multiple times to defeat the Tree Sentinel; entering Leyndell and marvelling at its increasing complexity; the war against Malenia – Elden Ring has created so many core memories for new players and hardcore Souls-like fans alike that it’s astounding.
