Should ELDEN RING be the Last Souls-like Game? | Review Discussion - 1 - Spoiler-Free To Games It May Concern 2022-03-17 | Part 2 available here: youtube.com/watch?v=JOrWmxF4k6AMy brother and I review, without major spoilers, Elden Ring. Elden Ring is the culmination—in gameplay design and aesthetic—of the past four Souls titles (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3). Though it is a new IP, it breathes the same air as prior From Software games and is a return to a style of game that From Soft was leaning away from with Bloodborne and Sekiro.We discuss what this suggests about future titles, whether this return-to-form is a good thing or not, and how we should judge From Software games in terms of their technical prowess or lack thereof. -- Buy us a coffee! ko-fi.com/togamesitmayconcern-- Like, Subscribe, & Share! youtube.com/c/ToGamesItMayConcern?sub_confirmation=1---Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/rubenjrodtwitter.com/cheerydowner---Additional Footage:youtube.com/c/FightinCowboy

Nearly Perfect Zelda-Like Indie | UNSIGHTED Review Discussion To Games It May Concern 2022-04-02 | Unsighted is a top-down action-rpg in the style of the Legend of Zelda.

The game does not overstay its welcome. In fact, the length is near perfect for what it offers.
