After years of waiting and anticipation, FromSoftware fans are finally able to get their hands on the excessively hyped Elden Ring. When games have a long development cycle and receive widespread attention before they're even launched, it can often be hard for them to live up to fan expectations. The industry has seen many a title in similar circumstances crash and burn upon release, unable to deliver on the game's early promise pre-launch. In the last few years alone, titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout 76, and Mass Effect: Andromeda have soured player perceptions due to unmet hopes and buggy releases, and Elden Ring was in danger of following their lead thanks to its massive pre-launch build-up.
However, the FromSoftware titleseems to have surpassed even the most optimistic of predictions, as Elden Ring is currently one of the highest-rated games ever made. It seems increasingly rare that a video game can live up to its own hype, but for fans that have waited since Dark Souls III's 2016 release to play a similar FromSoftware title, the positive reviews that have been pouring in for Elden Ring are a massive relief. One of the aspects of Elden Ring that has been praised is the depth of its character creation – often a popular feature in games. Elden Ring's character creator is particularly detailed, with players able to alter even the most minute features. Naturally, some gamers have taken this and ran with it, often with hilarious results.
