@Th3solution I agree with so many "souls like" to also scratch that itch. I would however avoid Lords of the Fallen. It is poorly done and will just create more frustration. Jedi Fallen Order is my favorite non From Software souls like game. Of course being in the Star Wars universe helps. I just wish the light saber acted more like a light saber than a flaming baseball bat. I see why they did it that way though. Other top souls like games for me were Surge 2 and the nioh games.
As far as Elden Ring I believe it will be even easier due to the openness. Something gets to hard go around it. Besides the usual grind to be OP, you can also ride around and find pick ups before taking on anything too hard. I'm not saying the game itself will be easy, but there will be more ways to make it easier.
For PC though - it was a bit tricky deciding whether to get it for PS5 or PC but in the end I settled for PC (my PS5 is a "family PS5", used by myself, 3 kids and my wife on occasion - whereas my PC is pretty much just my PC)
@velio84 I think I’d rather see a review from somebody who likes those sorts of games but isn’t a hardcore From fan. Otherwise it can sometimes lead to reviewers not being quite as objective as any other game.
@Th3solution My Bloodborne experience echoed yours, it was my first From Software game, and it took me a while to beat Dark Souls Remastered after that, I beat Dark Souls 3 in between the two, but yeah, all time, and patience, it only adds up.

@velio84 yeah I’m gonna play it after Horizon Forbidden West too… think a lot of PlayStation players will end up doing the same. Think we may see the player base of Elden Ring on Xbox dwarfing that of PlayStation until everyone’s cleared Forbidden West.
I’ll absolutely be waiting for Elden Ring, and getting Horizon 2 after. I’m quite looking forward to Horizon actually, but it can wait. And maybe even until after Gran Turismo.
@velio84@nessisonett Just to let you guys know, I'm reviewing Elden Ring for the site.
And what nessisonett said, "a review from somebody who likes those sorts of games but isn’t a hardcore From fan", is basically me. I love the Souls games and Bloodborne, but I really didn't get on with Sekiro. I'm hoping to revisit it in the future, but that won't happen soon. So I really like these sorts of games, but I wouldn't describe myself as a hardcore FromSoftware lover or anything.
@colonelkilgore I have no idea, we don't have the game or any details yet. The review embargo will almost certainly lift a few days before release, though.
@LiamCroft well hopefully the code will turn up sooner rather than later… rushing a playthrough of any game to ensure a complete review has to negatively effect the experience. On a an open-world souls-like, I’d imagine it’d be a damn sight worse.

@LiamCroft
Ha I hope you don’t get to rush for deadline and can just enjoy the game in all it’s scope. An in progress review would do just fine.
👍🏻

It looks like a lot of hands on first hours with Elden Ring are coming up now from many sources.
