“A24 is a kickass studio, and Alex Garland is a first rate director.”
Elden Ringpremiered in 2022 and took over the world in a way that few video games are capable of. The game follows the player as a lowly tarnished, who must make his way to the center of the Edrtree with one task in mind: collect the shards of the Elden Ring and become the Elden Lord. Along the way,the player will meet delightful friends and terrifying foes, including Malenia Blade of Miquella, who is well-regarded as one of the most difficult boss fights in the history of gaming. Not only was the game hailed forits complex but intriguing story, but it was also lauded for its gameplay mechanics and different play styles that it offers the player.Whether you take a mage or a warrior into the Lands Between, you’d better be ready for a fight.
