Elden Ring is a dark fantasy action role-playing game (RPG) by FromSoftware, creators of the wildly popular Dark Souls series. It quickly shot to the top of many “most anticipated” lists upon reveal at E3 2019, mainly due to Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin’s involvement. Yup, instead of finishing The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, Martin went off to work on video games for a bit — much to the chagrin of book nerds everywhere.

That’s the elevator pitch for Elden Ring, and we’ll get into more detail later, but first, let’s talk about the critical reception! To put it bluntly: Elden Ring is one of the best video games of all time by most quantifiable metrics.

FromSoftware is a Japanese video game studio responsible for titles like Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and the Dark Souls series. While FromSoftware has been making games since the mid-1990s, it became particularly well-known once Demon’s Souls came out in 2009, arguably Elden Ring’s progenitor. Demon’s Souls quickly became a fan-favorite due to its brilliant level design, wonderfully esoteric storytelling, and bone-crushingly challenging combat — that last part is key when discussing where Elden Ring’s hype came from. Many gave Demon’s Souls heaps of praise for being tough yet rewarding, like classic Nintendo Entertainment System titles like Contra or Battletoads.

With each major release after Demon’s Souls came out, FromSoftware’s notoriety and prestige grew, culminating in Elden Ring.
