Spirit ash summons are controlled by the AI, so they don’t depend on other players’ willingness to drop a summon sign, and they only cost focus points (aka, FP, the same easily replenished currency you’ll use to cast skills or spells) rather than limited-use items like humanity.Īfter my first run at a boss ends rather ignominiously, I decide to take my new Northern Mercenary spirit ash for a spin. It’s only available in particular areas, such as boss fights and tricky encounters like these in the open world, and it may, finally, lay to rest the conversation about difficulty that plagues every FromSoft release. You can collect the ‘ashes’ of certain enemy types and summon a spirit version of them to help you out. I answer with my own squad: a quintet of wandering nobles. Then I get spotted, someone blows a trumpet, and the whole village mobs me. Sekiro’s ability to jump returns, enabling more ‘hitbox porn’ and new attacks in combat, while its stealth systems allow me to sneak around a ruined village taking out men-at-arms. I’m in love.įromSoft develops its previous gameplay with the same deft touch. Just as I think these thoughts, I see an ordinary-looking sheep curl up into a ball and roll across the ground like an armadillo. Its otherworldliness is expertly deployed. It delivers vistas that couldn’t exist in our world, but without entirely losing its grounding in reality.

If the full game maintains these standards Elden Ring may be among the most beautiful open-world games ever made, and it won’t be because it can match Red Dead Redemption 2’s awesome scope or its visual fidelity – it hasn’t, so far – but because it’ll be the first fantasy game that’s made such effective use of its licence to be fantastical. World of Warcraft is possibly the closest comparison, but obviously it’s ancient, and never aspired to this kind of near-realism stylistically. It’s dialing everything up to a tasteful 11 (alright, maybe 12) rather than the kind of unapologetic indulgence you’d see in Warhammer Age of Sigmar’s concept art. The columns in these ruins are slightly too tall, that moon in the sky is slightly too bright and big. Yes, Elden Ring is high fantasy where those are not – the giant glowing tree in the sky is a bit of a giveaway – but somehow it doesn’t feel overdone. The Witcher III’s rainswept wilderness has its own rugged beauty, but feels similarly limited.

I got similar chills when the Northern Lights hit Skyrim’s Throat of the World just so, but it doesn’t come close to this. It’s enough to put other fantasy open worlds in a new context. I see a sheep curl up into a ball and roll across the ground like an armadillo - I’m in love
