Absolutely peak, dont need to play any games before.
Also I recommend not looking up guides to speedrun the game, just explore and experience it
ok ok, i thought it seemed interesting cuz of the lore video. the world seems hella expansive.
and i really dont get the point of playing with guides. the whole point of the games i've played so far like Hollow Knight / Silksong and Blasphemous is free exploration
unless you are lost and don't know what do to next or need the location of a strong weapon or item
eh i usually just backtrack a lot for that stuff
Really fun game, also there isn't ever really a need to start with a different game in most fromsoft games, you can just go into any game blind and have fun.
if you plan on eventually playing all the souls games, you should start with the older ones so you don't get annoyed by the outdated mechanics later on
if you don't, you can just start with ds3 or elden ring
im thinking of playing elden ring first, then playing the dark souls trilogy from 1-3
You don’t need to start with a souls game, but I’d personally recommend it. Elden ring is accessible, but the scale can be intimidating. I’ve had a couple friends who started with elden ring and did not get a ton of interest. Personally I started with DS3 then played elden ring, and I had a blast with it
really fun game. hard enough, huge story, great gameplay. prob my fav game of all time
i would start with it, the games arent in order (esp as ER is a standalone) and its prob the best one.
along with the ‘dont look things up’ thing, also remember that its an open world game. you can go elsewhere, explore other places, and upgrade/level up without bashing your head against a boss/area. also u might find cool stuff
it is the best game ive ever played
Really good game
