I must say that i'm not a fan of this series, the gameplay is clunky, there's no story, it has RPG elements but it barely scraps more than the stats, quests, markers, the UI, the controls, it's so damn lackluster, there's no characters, barely any voiceover, the world is empty, dark, full of nothing, the laziness of the developers besides the Boss AI is incredible.
Maybe you just need to imagine everything else.

it's a new series
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
that has to be bait bruh
Somebody didn’t get past the first boss
Let's deconstruct this shit for argument's/discussion sake
"Gameplay is clunky"
I mean, it's not a "mindless" hack n' slash game (I don't know why people say that so much like if they played every HaS under the sun). The point of the combat is being clunky, and I have a hard time knowing why you think that since this is basically the most refined Souls experience yet (from what I've seen)
"No story"
Yep, absolutely can see how you're not a fan of the series.
"RPG elements but barely scraps"
That's because Souls games aren't typical JRPG/western RPG generally speaking, but a third person take on the dungeon crawler genre. If you know your stuff about the genre, you'll know most of the RPG aspect from dungeon crawlers was based around mechanical roleplay. As in, stat minmaxing, constructing a competent build, manage equipment and spells. None of that dialogue branching bullshit.
"Quests, markers"
You want a full RPG or not? Also this is more in Elden Ring's fault.
"No characters and barely any voiceover"
Talk about missing most of From Software's point.
"World is empty"
From what standpoint. Locations to explore? There's quite marked biomes and special places to explore, I haven't even fucking played the game and from all the footage I've seen, while doesn't look astonishingly unique, it does have detail and flavor. You wanted towns with people to talk or settlements to invade talkatively? You were looking at the wrong company then.
"Dark, full of nothing"
I won't even try to aknowledge these two, what the hell do you try to argue.
"Laziness"
Look, I can criticize From for a lot of shit. Repurposing the same winning formula every time since their beginning, recycling the old to make apparently new, the lost underlying meanings from their simplistic approach in favor of bombastic action-focused anime masturbatory galleries, fast-paced in favor of heavy combat, no more weirdo mechanics, market stagnation. But one thing I wouldn't say against them is these guys being lazy. If you wanna get into that, they've been way lazier back then.
I think you were expecting Skyrim or some shit, and I really want to see some more input.
