lately i haven’t been playing video games nearly as much as i used to, but i’m getting back into the groove with elden ring for the upcoming DLC that’s dropping.
hidetaka miyazaki, the director of this game, is an uncompromising and inimitable force in the world of game design, and his collaboration with GRRM for the lore underpinning this particular game is an interesting twist.
elden ring is, to me, the perfection of the lineage of games that miyazaki and FromSoftware have developed (mainly dark souls): from the visual language to the thematic direction to the brutally minimalist combat system to the haunting level and world design… if you’re near the target audience, this game won’t be easily forgotten.
