Elden Ring is a game of strategy, memory, and patience. These attributes set Elden Ring apart from other games because the gamer can not easily run through the map in a “slash and dash” style with no real preparation or plan. It is inherently difficult for a new gamer because the gamer has no clue how to approach the scenarios in Elden Ring. This is where patience comes into the mix. Surely, gamers new and old will fail in Elden Ring, continuously and sometimes unexpectedly, it is up to the gamer to try and try again. After trial and error, the gamer reaches a point where he has strategized a plan, chose the proper gear, memorized the routes of enemies, and stocked up on health potions to finally clear the area he has been stuck on for days. This is precisely what makes Elden Ring what it is. The overwhelming joy of finishing a task will give the player rewards mentally and in the game that makes the gamer want to continue exploring the vistas of this magical game. The developers understand what they created and did not leave their followers high and dry in Elden Ring, though. There is a feature that can give a less abled player a helping hand. At some spots in the game, the player can summon a partner for a multiplayer run. This is the key factor to help new players get into the game without making the game easier. It is a genius way to make a difficult game not only bearable but extremely fun and unique.
Elden Ring, like the SoulsBourne game before it, sets the gamer in a deeply immersive world filled with a sense of danger and exploration. The developers knew the way to keep a player engaged was to make it challenging like no other game has done. The difficulty and in-depth customization make Elden Ring a game that can satisfy almost anyone who is looking for an adventure.
