My 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.
