Elden Ring/Souls Games are repetitive boss fighting simulators.

I’ve been a fan of FromSoftware since Otogi and Amored core. I’ve played every single Souls game and thought all of them were boring. They are well polished games but I just don’t think they deserve the praise they get. You hear negativity about repetitiveness in games all the time but Souls games are a prime example of it. All you do in these games is literally fight bosses no puzzles, no platforming just boss fights with the same “hit-dodge-hit-dodge” wack-a-mole combat system and grind and die….a lot. I wanted to get Elden Ring but I can’t see the appeal, they added an “Open World” but there are no villages or cities the only thing to do to interact in this world is again…….Fight bosses.

P.S Sekiro was my favorite souls game because from added gameplay elements like swimming, platforming/grappling and a dedicated parry to switch up gameplay.
