I really liked Elden Ring and its def going to end up as one of my favorite games but I can’t say i prefer the open world aspect versus the traditional well built interconnected maps. I feel like Dark Souls 1 had the best map, it allowed you to in a bunch of different directions so it felt open but it didn’t have that feeling of “filler” that Elden Ring has.
My favorite parts of Elden Ring were the legacy dungeons, Raya Lucaria Academy, Leyndell, Stormveil castle, Hagiltree, etc. The catacombs, caves, tombs, and a lot of the open world didn’t really do a lot to add to the game imo
Once you see a lot of the big surprises in limgrave (big dragon dropping on you, wolves ambushing you, giants shooting at you) and first going to Caelid, theres not really a lot of surprises left. You end up fighting a lot of dragons and giants in this game.
I feel like with the success of Elden Ring they are gonna go balls deep in sequels like dark souls, which makes sense. It would be dumb for them to drop this now but its gonna be sad to see From turn into another open world studio. It would be ideal if they could split into two teams but theres only one Miyazaki so thats not likely.
