ELDEN RING review

Elden Ring is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware, based on fantasy novels. Announced in February 2019, it is published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game is produced by Hidetaka Miyazaki, the company's president and the creator of the Souls series.

Gameplay

Elden Ring is an action role-playing game set in a high fantasy world. The player takes control of a custom protagonist, who chooses from one of FromSoftware's signature classes: swordsman, bowman, or sorcerer. The player progresses through the game's world, defeating enemies to gain experience and power, and uncovering the game's story.

The game is played from a third-person perspective and uses an over-the-shoulder camera for melee combat. The player can use light and heavy attacks, as well as block, dodge, and dash. 

Enemies can be weakened by attacking specific body parts, which can then be finished off with a finishing move. The player can also use magic, which is fueled by a meter that regenerates over time. Magic can be used to attack enemies or to heal the player and allies.

The game features hub worlds in which the player can explore, as well as side-quests that can be completed for rewards. The game features a branching narrative, in which the player's choices affect the course of the story.
