Is that the gimmick? Just make an area where it's too easy to fall off and you die constantly?

I am really enjoying Elden Ring. It's fun to play a game that actually reminds me of what I hoped Zelda would be when I was a kid. And the massive map pretty amazing the way there's just constantly more.

But this is just garbage game design. I know people who like Souls games tend to act like masochistic abuse victims, where they call things like Blight Town genius, but this isn't fun at all. Like, the game deliberately has poor platforming. Making an entire level a balancing act is stupid and makes me feel like they ran out of ideas.

In fairness, Blighttown was sick as fuck for it's time. Elden Ring is the only other game that did their world design the same kind of way. Yeah the framerate was shit but having one area but a cornerstone of the games lore, haunting atmosphere, and a ramp up in challenge all while connecting to like 4 different places at once was sick as fuck.

Shame they ruined it with the toxic blowgun nerds but eh.
