‘Elden Ring’ is the fastest-selling game of the year, with over 12 million copies sold in its first three weeks. But what’s the fuss all about? Is the game too obfuscated to be played by casual gamers? Or is it actually quite good? And most importantly, is it even worth playing? We answer these questions in this piece. So what can you expect?

FromSoftware’s ‘Elden Ring’ has sold 12 million copies in its first three weeks

The game has become a huge success, selling over twelve million units worldwide since its February 25 launch date. In comparison, the game’s predecessor, Dark Souls III, sold over two million copies in the first 10 days. The latest title has sold even more in less than three weeks – making it the fastest-selling video game of all time. It also broke the previous record for the fastest selling PlayStation 4 game in history, surpassing that of Dark Souls III.

It’s the fastest-selling game of the year

The biggest selling video games in the UK and US are not necessarily the best-selling ones, but that doesn’t mean they have to be the worst. This year, two video games took the top spots in the charts: Destiny 2 Forsaken and Batman: Arkham Knight. Each of them broke their own sales records, but they both benefited from the fact that they were released on different platforms. As such, they both boosted their sales. Batman: Arkham Knight was the fastest-selling superhero game in history. In addition, it’s the best-selling Marvel game of all time. The latter’s success came from its unique storyline. However, Destiny 2 Forsaken, an action RPG, debuted at No.8, and Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 dropped to No.6.

It’s obfuscated

With the recent launch of Elden Ring, the question becomes, how are people playing the game? As more people try it, the game is gaining popularity. The game is much more forgiving than previous FromSoftware games, such as Dark Souls, and its open world system is more appealing to gamers. With its popularity increasing by the day, more players are trying Elden Ring. And just a week after its launch, the game has already reached a new peak player count.

It’s hard to get into

Getting into Elden Ring can be tricky, but it’s no more difficult than playing Dark Souls. The game is designed for brutality, and while the difficulty isn’t as high as in the original, there are still ways to mitigate its challenges. But there are also some areas where it can feel like an easy mode. Below we’ll cover a few of these areas. The good news is that there are more ways than ever to overcome these issues.

It’s a Dark Souls mashup

If you’ve been a fan of the Souls series, you’ll definitely want to check out Elden Ring. It continues the series’ eerie, oppressive atmosphere with a sense of wonder. The combat rhythm and approach to enemy designs is similar to the games, and the bosses and levels follow the same ebb and flow of mastery and difficulty. As a result, the game can be quite confusing to play without a guide.

It’s a Myst mashup

While Elden Ring is not exactly a Lord of the Rings mashup, there are a lot of similarities between the two games. Both are fantasy RPGs, and have plenty of swords and sorcery, as well as grotesque monsters. eli_handle_b took the clips and stitched them together to make a minute-long video teaser.
