It's also a completely different game, both are open world but gameplay is not focused on the same things. Game journalists always had soft spot for Zelda so scores doesn't surprise me.
Elfen Ring is still the best, I doubt any game released this year will surpass it in the eyes of many people.

Having way more fun with Final Fantasy XVI. I also liked RE4 remake more.

Highly overrated game.
Totk is a game that runs circles around Elden Ring, to answer op question.
It’s just open world Souls but it’s a weak systemic open world and rpg. Dogma did it better waay earlier and is a better rpg.

Elden Ring is still the GOTG so far, and the DLC is most likely going to put the final foolish ambitions to rest.

I love Dragon's Dogma but most of its open world is pretty barren. Elden Ring has tonnes more shit in it.

I do have more FUN playing TOTK, and it's also a more relaxing experience. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a better game overall, but yeah.

I do like TOTK a lot. Would even call it one of the best games of all time.
Elden Ring is still better.

There have been some really great games since Elden Ring, but in my opinion, nothing has come remotely close to being better than it.
Truly an incredible, unforgettable game that I wish I could erase from my memory and start again.

Weird how people have different opinions about entertainment. Truth is that they are both amazing games.

I'm primarily a Playstation gamer, and honestly I couldn't give a shit about ER. I've never found the appeal to Souls games anyway, and I don't think I'm the only one.

No OP I dont see any game for a long while topping Elden Ring, it has great worldbuilding, lore, polished combat, replayability, fantastic bosses and enemies, a ton of variety both for locations and weapons/armour/enemy designs, worthwhile exploration.
Not to mention the expansion is out soon.
Really wish people would actually look at what makes ER so special before comparing to other titles. You can have your preferences but it didnt asset flip an entire world map, it has multiple play styles, rewards at every single location etc etc, there is no open world like it at all.

That's how I see Zelda games, Mario has way more energy than Zelda, it almost felt like the boring side of empty world, shadow of the colossus is also empty but I liked it this way.

No, Bloodborne still reigns supreme.

Not yet. I am however hopeful that Lies of P overtakes it for me.
P.S. Playing original Dark Souls games is rough after Elden Ring.

Totk is in a respectable 2nd, just ahead of a PS exclusive

You're not at all, my friend.
Elden Ring ain't shit to me. I've put a lot of time into Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring, in each case trying to find the fun and engagement that soulsfans love to gush over. I wasn't able to find it at all. The games are all pretty dull to me.
Just empty combat with environmental storytelling, with no compelling reason to keep playing after the first few hours.
So yeah, to me, many games in 2023 have blown way past ER.

TotK was great, but I still think Elden Ring is ahead of it personally.

As an RE fan, I am extremely biased toward RE4 Remake.
However outside of that, Elden Ring was the most enjoyable game I had played to this date.
I can't speak about FFXVI yet cause I haven't finished it yet.

I wasn't able to really get into totk, which is the only real competition imho. There have been lots of 9/10s this year though!

Pretty much the same. Souls games in general never clicked with me.
Best game to me over the last two years was Hogwarts followed by Diablo 4.

Not the point. He is talking about 'beating Elden Ring'.

Why can't I choose multiple? Not everyone is a souls fan. Elden Ring had great exploration but it was a slog and not very engaging. I am really curious to see how the follow up does saleswise. I.e. how many people who bought it liked it enough to want a second round. Zelda destroys it. Hogwarts was more fun too. Final Fantasy has a better story so far, but has no real exploration. Diablo is more enjoyable too but I am doing that in coop with my kid.

I don't get more fun with Elden Ring than any other souls game, it's just a another souls game with useless big map. I wish it were smaller map with more balanced boss mechanics.
