“I think this is my favorite Souls game. I think the open-world is what the Dark Souls games have been missing. In Elden Ring, you feel more immersed in the world because you can see it, and then understand the scope of it,” PewDiePie said.

The YouTuber then broke down how Elden Ring’s design fixed Dark Soul’s flaws: “In Dark Souls you tend to teleport around a lot and it doesn’t make sense. And in Elden Ring, if you do get stuck on a boss, you can re-think and go somewhere else. There is a ton of optional areas you can go to level up. It’s just what Dark Souls needed.”

While Elden Ring has received criticism from some as being too difficult, PewDiePie doesn’t fully agree as he believes the exploration elements give players a chance to become stronger.

The creator loved the game so much that he told fans he was planning on beating it all over again using in the New Game Plus mode.
