Elden Ring is the comeback of FromDoftware to its roots, making another game following the rules, gameplay and difficulty that Demon's Souls created, and improving on them just like the Dark Souls series and Bloosborne did. Elden Ring brings new stuff to the series, but still feels pretty similar and not something really innovative, but that isn't something bad, because this is souls in its purest form, doing the same things that the other games did to become so memorable, but bringing in the open world, making the game feel bigger than any other souls game, though this world is kind of empty at times, which again, its not something bad, because it brings the feeling of loneliness and decay that the world of the game wants to bring, making the atmosphere feel really unique, just like Demon's Souls did, following the example of Ueda's idea of simplicity, which can be seen in his creations, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian. On the other hand, because it is an open world, the quality of the game changes quite drastically sometimes: you can fight one of the best bosses in any game, and then, when exploring, you find a boring reskin of an early boss, or worst, a really simple and terrible boss fight. While Miyazaki is a genius, he still makes mistakes and one of them is with the quantity of bosses, because just like in Dark Souls 2 (a game he didn't direct), there are a lot of bosses (especially considering its an open world game), and a lot of them are pretty lame and sometimes just reskins of other bosses, or a boss you already fought but this time 2 of them. Contrary to that, it still has some quality bosses, especifically the ones from the main story, having the same quality as Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne, most of them being fast paced. And as always, the story and lore are really mysterious and gets more interesting while you play it. In general, Elden Ring doesn't change much from its predecessors, but the open world really adds to the experience. You can expect the same stuff as any other FromSoftware game, high difficulty, excellent bosses, great soundtrack, interesting lore, exciting boss fights, memorable places and a really great game.
