I feel that Elden Ring is a bit too open for a From Software game. Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro, which I all love but suck at, are all a bit more directional in terms of where you need to go. You can "crawl" an area a bit more, whereas Elden Ring just feels too expansive. I'm often asking "is this where I'm even supposed to be at?". That can be fun in a mystical sort of way, but it makes it hard to even know what I should be working towards. Plus, their RPG elements run deep, and you need to basically live on the forums and wiki to understand how to piece together a build. Winging it is fine, but it usually means you've stunted yourself in some unclear way. This is why I also really like Sekiro, which removed some of that.
