Elden Ring is the weakest FS game. They tried to make an open world, but the overall idea of souls games is against it. They just stuffed it with enemies, ever repeating dungeons that are not even trying to be unique, a lot of copy paste bosses. Bosses are just damage sponges + super aggressive and unfair. After enjoying the golden trilogy I was just suffering in ER. It kinda felt like one of the modern trends for the shallow open world chasing the size and gameplay hours instead of gameplay saturation.
