Thought Experiment: Imagine a world where Souls/Sekiro/Bloodbourne didn't exist, but Elden Ring (somehow, magically) comes out and is still 100% the same exact game. Would it still earn/deserve a 10/10? Or do you think a genre has been carved out that it benefits from?

      @Zorbrix For me, probably. I'm a sucker for open world games and this is the best single-player open world I've ever existed in. It's a world that focuses on discovery rather than narrative, which is better for me personally.

        @Zorbrix I've played maybe 10 hours combined of all other FromSoftware games, though. My comparison points for these kinds of games are Horizon, Zelda, Skyrim, Witcher 3, etc. Despite loving all those games, I'm having more fun in this one.
