Elden Ring is an action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, released in February 2022. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with world-building contributions from novelist George R. R. Martin, the game features an expansive open world called the Lands Between. Players assume the role of a customisable character known as the Tarnished, who must explore this world, battle formidable enemies, and seek to restore the Elden Ring to become the Elden Lord.
The game builds on the challenging gameplay mechanics familiar from the Dark Souls series but introduces a more open-ended structure with vast exploration, dynamic weather, and a day-night cycle. It offers deep lore, complex characters, and an interconnected world filled with secrets, dungeons, and powerful bosses.

okay I respecced into a magic/Loretta cosplay build and it kinda rules. feeling stylish and blasting people with my magic arrows. avoiding the temptation to do terra magica+comet azur on all the bosses. maybe elden ring turns into the only game I play lol

Thanks to taking two weeks off of work for the holidays, I've been getting to spend more time with this game, and I'm still amazed at how many new things I'm still finding, even though I'm pretty far into it now. I've also grown strong enough now that tough enemies even feel like I have a fighting chance.

I just love this game.

The Valiant Gargoyles so far are the worst boss(es) in Elden Ring. I don't mind a challenge and of course there are plenty of challenging bosses in Elden Ring, but these two were such a doozy.
Still, it took me under 10 tries to beat them, which is less than the times it took me to beat the Red Wolf …

Still, it took me under 10 tries to beat them, which is less than the times it took me to beat the Red Wolf of Radagon in the Ancestral Forest or the Crucible Knights in the Siofra Aqueduct, who aren't even bosses. Go figure.

Somehow I played 68 PS Plus games and 68 games this year, yet my top game of the year, Elden Ring is not a PS Plus game. That math doesn't add up.

Hey, I wrote this very complicated piece about Elden Ring and processing grief. Figured I'd share here. Little content warning here, as if goes into details of a friend's death. https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/elden-ring-grief-processing-death/

This is an incredible piece about friendship and loss intertwined with a shared experience of a game. It's a wonderful, tragic and moving piece that I just thought people here on Grouvee would appreciate reading.

So I got captured by this thing on wheels in the academy, which then had me end up in a Volcano, which in the end was a boss which was two of the things on wheels, which kicked my ass multiple times, before I decided "you know what? We're going with a spear." So get a spear, use shield with barricade shield, distract enemies with skeletons, run up to the rocks to jump on top, and once the enemies come over, I block with my shield while hitting them with the spear. I had to use a couple of energy refills, but I beat them in one try with this method.
This is one of the few games that keeps on kicking my ass, but I just go back and try again. I love it that much.

Non perfezionato, molto sbilanciato e ogni build finisce per essere giocata nello stesso modo nonostante la grande mappa di gioco.
