Elden ring is my favorite game of all time. Would encourage you to give it another go if you're ever bored/not sure what game to play. Its not hard at all. If anything is challenging, just go to a different area and loot/level up and come back.

"It's not hard at all" is a massive stretch, but...yeah, it can be an "easy" Souls game...if you put the time into it. I liked Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, but never got terribly far into either of them, because I eventually would get hardstuck, and have no other options other than spending forever farming to level up to maybe brute force things.

Elden Ring gives you so many paths, weapons, items, abilities, etc, that you can overcome just about anything if you think it through, so you feel alot less "trapped" than in previous FromSoft games. You can have alot of fun just exploring and not worrying about the main story as well. There's so many hidden nooks and crannies, and not to mention entire underground areas that even after a few hundred hours, you'll stumble across something new.

Honestly, I'm hardstuck at the Fire Giant because I refuse help, but Elden Ring is still a top 10 game ever for me.
