From someone who is very OCD and likes to explore every corner of a map this meant that I thankfully find myself in a unique position of being very high level in the opening area and feel much more comfortable at facing any challenges to come. One thing that helps this is it's an entirely open world, so you have free reign to go and farm as much as you want and level yourself up early if you wish. The game itself can be VERY difficult and can be truly punishing at times, but there are more than enough ways to grow your character and become stronger before facing a tough enemy or challenge. Regarding difficulty, there is a reason why this game is widely considered the perfect game for 'From Software' first timers. What I discovered was a challenging yet thoroughly rewarding game that has almost the perfect open world totally filled with hidden secrets and rooms, exciting open world fights, unwalked and sometimes very tricky areas to navigate and on top of all that its also unbelievably stunning to witness. I watched as streamers played through the game and seeing them learn and overcome was fun and exciting to watch but I still found myself debating what to do, until I seen my friends list gradually start playing Elden ring one by one and decided to jump in.

Dark souls, demon's souls etc are all well renowned for this, so I initially felt uneasy as I didn't want to smash a controller through my brand new tv. It's almost gaming lore at this point that these games can be unfairly hard and will almost always make you rage. For many years all I seemed to hear about this studio was the truly punishing difficulty that they implement into their games.
