From Software's Dark Souls series is renowned for its ultra tense, weighty, pitch-perfect action where you bang your head for hours against seemingly immovable bosses until you triumphantly take them down. But in their latest game Elden Ring—an open world shift on the Soulsborne framework—I've been playing it more as if it were a sightseeing tour, mainly riding around and looking at all the grand majestic sights the game has to offer... and I've had an absolute blast doing it. Let's talk about how Elden Ring places more focus on exploration than any other Soulsborne game before it, and why exploring the staggeringly vast expanses of the Lands Between is so much fun.
