Yeah I like ChromeHounds, I'm sure Elden Ring will be a perfect game for me
Personally, this is my first entry of the from software series(Cut me some slack, I’m pretty darn young). I’ve been loving it so far. I love the visuals, the gameplay and almost everything about it. My only small critiques and complaints is that the multiplayer is tedious to access, and that I find myself confused about many new aspects of the game. I had a friend as a guide to understand many controls and moves.
I was just telling my brother how I think that this game is the most accessible, but he thinks that because of the openness that people will get stuck on one really hard boss they found
I think it does a good job of giving options like you said though
My love for Souls comes from its atmosphere and storytelling, and so Demons' Souls (the original, not the remake) and Dark 1 (the original, not the remaster) are absolutely what I recommend new players start with.
I don't get why people call it 'the souls series'. Sure, they come from the same development studio and share a similar approach to game design, but Bloodborne and Sekiro don't even have 'Souls' in their title. Heck, Elden Ring even strays away from the game design, being an open world game.
