It might be one of if not the best open world game, but it just gets so boring once you've seen most of what the world has to offer. So many open areas with nothing going on. Still looking forward to SotE

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

The best open world is still Zelda BotW/TotK, and sadly, ER is not even close.
Yeah, it should have been a dlc, or, more likely, an expansion included with the switch 2 version. The original Switch was just not powerful enough for it. BotW is the gold standard for open worlds, and probably the most deserved GotY award ever given.
The world of ER feels lacking in comparison. To me, their biggest mistake was still trying to follow the old formula of "dead world". It works fine when you're limited to seeing only the important parts of the world. It stops working when you're selling the idea that his huge land is all entirely dead, with the exception of some very few people.
