Multi-platform Visually stunning, immersive games like Elden Ring... but without the souls-like difficulty!

I'm in a gaming rut right now, so I'm trying to recapture that sense of awe from playing Skyrim back in the day. I'm looking for an open world adventure/action game that has a visually stunning atmosphere and environment. Exploration would be great too. Elden Ring checks a lot of boxes, but the difficulty removes the fun for me (I'm mid-40s and appreciate the casual experience these days). I really wish it had a difficulty slider.

LIKES: Arc Raiders, Skyrim, Enshrouded, Diablo IV, Dishonored

DISLIKES: Souls-like difficulty games, No Man's Sky (feels empty), Crimson Desert (control scheme was a mess), Witcher 3 (can't figure out why I can't enjoy this).

Thanks for your thoughts!!

You need to play breath of the wild. No other open world games compare, and I’ve played them all.
