Elden Ring: Journeying Through The Lands Between | Backlog Battle
191Thanks to OMEN by HP for sponsoring this video!
Many thanks to Bandai Namco for providing me these game codes.
Elden Ring is an easy shoe-in for 2022's Game of the Year and behind it is a wealth of history, knowledge, and refined game design honed over years of continuous iteration. In this video, we will journey through The Lands Between, talking about From Software's influence in gaming culture, Hidetaka Miyazaki's inspirations and design ethos, its clever way of bringing single player minded folks together, while unraveling the perception of difficulty that's accidentally undermined the reality of their games' creation. Rise Tarnished, and hit that Play button! Join the many Tarnished among us as we journey through The Lands Between to become the Elden Lord!
