Top 30 Video Games of All Time

5. Elden Ring

Yes, FromSoftware’s latest takes several cues from Breath of the Wild’s open world, not to mention its previous games. But iteration is only half the story – Elden Ring delivers its own compelling experience from the very first moment you step into Limgrave. The combat is made more enjoyable by the insane diversity of weapons and armor; the levels themselves, brim with dozens of intriguing dungeons and areas (even with some repeats). It may not convert your average player into a Souls fan overnight but Elden Ring is a premium experience and so much more than just “open world Dark Souls.”
