Miyazaki and Martin make quite a team presenting this new incredibly rewarding and completely fresh vast open world designed from scratch with plenty to explore/loot and huge abundance of bosses.
After playing for 2 weeks and having defeated at least 10 something bosses, I realized I had barely even scratched the surface, and even at the early stage Elden Ring provides a decent challenge. At the end of the day I'm sure it'll turn out way more challenging than Dark Souls 3 and even Sekiro, however, this time Miyazaki aims for an entertaining gameplay as well, and that's thanks to the highly effective level up system and the fact that you start both with a decent amount of stamina and robust flexibility, encouraging fans to upgrade their physicality first and only then the sorcery.
Without exaggeration the best game I've played, and 97% on metacritic is more than well deserved. Elden Ring will obviously be recognized the game of the year, topping even Sekiro's success.
To summarize, it is now the time to officially admit that Miyazaki is the absolute king of gaming industry. An unbelievably talented guy whose works I've been admiring for over a decade now.
