Superb Artistry Makes For a Beautiful Open World
Games featuring world design might be a dime a dozen these days, but Elden Ring doesn’t really look like anything we’ve seen before. Sure, there are aspects of its design that are familiar; how could there not be? But the sheer level of artistry and detail packed into every corner of the world is a cut above even some of the most high-budget contemporaries.
Of course, Elden Ring’s dark fantasy aesthetic is the perfect platform for such a feat. The extraordinary features and landmarks we’ve seen in this latest presentation are just so whacky and wonderful — and we only saw 15-minutes of gameplay! I can’t wait to unearth all the frightening beautiful nooks and crannies of the sandbox, from mysterious mountain ranges to spooky forests and catacombs.
