•A hub called the Roundtable Hold enables you to visit characters who can offer gear upgrades.
Elden Ring from £50 / PS5, PS4, XSX, XB1, PC
With FromSoftware’s trademark difficulty and a richly imaginative world that doesn’t hold your hand, this ambitious action RPG is a crowning achievement. There’s so much to lose yourself in here: lore hunters will have a field day combing through the world’s mythology; speedrunners and those who thrive on challenge will relish figuring out the best weapons to use and where to find them. Even for most of us mere mortals, Elden Ring is an event: an invitation to greatness.
