I picked up Elden Ring over a year ago and had started it. It was really difficult going around the world and I felt like I wasn't enjoying it as much as I could because of its difficulty. This was my first experience with a "Souls" game.

I played a bit of Demon's Souls over the holidays last year on ps3 because I had it on ps+ and was curious. I liked it and it helped me force myself to keep at it with some enemies, as it's more linear.

That gave me the push to try Elden Ring once more and it then "clicked" and I just kept at it and now I'm having way more fun. I'm going back everywhere because I know I skipped difficult bosses or parts of the game.

I found out that I had skipped over a whole area and went to an even more difficult one, so I was getting a harder game than I should have. Upon going to the now easier map section (and with an upgraded character), I breezed through a huge section.

If you haven't heard of it, I recommend 😅
