Having brought down Godrick, the breadth of the world-and the way in which From Software has applied its signature style to an open world-was on full display, reinforcing how insignificant I really was and driving home the magnitude of the task that still awaited me.

Elden Ring maintains the nail-biting combat and air of mystery that has distinguished From Software's Soulsborne games, but it's elevated to new heights by the studio's interpretation of what an open-world game can be.

Fifteen hours into Elden Ring, I defeated Godrick, the first of five Elden Lords.
