Elden Ring, like its famous predecessor Dark Souls, is a punishingly difficult action roleplaying game that has been gaining popularity. The combat system is hard to understand and master, which sets it apart from other RPG games. The game only has one mode which, compared to other games, allows you to choose on your own. According to developer FromSoftware, the game mode is appropriate for both new and experienced players of this video game genre. There are also unique stats in the game, such as Poise, which can give you an advantage or a disadvantage.
