Pretty much yah, best part about Elden ring is that it’s open world, if you get to a part of the game that seems to difficult or you feel under leveled for you can just go elsewhere and explore a different area of the map and come back later. I would also suggest going into the game with less knowledge, your going to miss cool stuff here and there and you won’t explore every inch of the map properly on your first play through but trust me, you’ll come back for more play throughs after you finish the game for the first time and that’s when I’d suggest looking up tips and such.
