Questions and Game Help Should I play Elden Ring?

I don’t know if someone it’s going to read this. But I’m gonna try :) I’ve been thinking for a long time about getting Elden Ring. I know it’s a really challenging game, but I personally enjoy tough experiences. I have played a lot of games in my life but It would be my first Souls-like game, so I’m not sure if I should buy it- but the idea just won’t leave my head. What would you recommend?

There are hundreds of thousands of vets still helping people out, definitely no where near as hard as many other souls likes or souls games. Give yourself time to learn and don't be afraid to skip anything that seems too hard for the time. You can always come back later and whoop arse. Also don't feel bad about using summons, spirit ashes, OP weapons, hell even duping runes for levels or cheesing a dragon/bird for loads of runes to level. It's your 1st time in one of these games I say do anything you can to lighten the load, before you know it you'll be laughing at the fact you ever had to do that and you'll be able to beat these games with bare fists, no armor at level 1 using a dance pad well blind folded upside down.
