One of the best implementations of an open world RPG to date. Between the large variety of weapons and play styles, a memorable cast of mysterious characters, and the stellar music and art direction, Elden Ring creates a journey that truly feels like an adventure into the unknown. My one complaint is that some boss repeats were a little overused. Usually the only variation would be either adding mobs to the fight or simply putting two bosses in one space, leading to some fights feeling more annoying than fun. Otherwise, Elden Ring manages to further expand and improve upon the Souls-like formula while establishing its own identity among Fromsoft's other titles.
