15. Elden Ring: I don't know about this one honestly. I still haven't been able to motivate myself to even play halfway through the game yet. I'm enjoying it 'well enough' at times but struggle to truly get into it. And for a FromSoft game that's a bit of a letdown. Played every Souls game since Demon's Souls, at release, on the PS3. This used to be one of my favorite franchises but I did not love Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring is... well, they turned something I used to love into an open world game, so there is that. I don't know why devs have decided the ultimate goal is to put as much empty space into their games as possible. It especially hurts in this case because they did it to a game that I otherwise know I would have loved. Core gameplay is still fairly solid in spite of that, but even that still has some problems. Like DS3 this has become one of those games where I try to play it and then go 'nah, I think I'll play Bloodborne again.' It's arguable if I even really enjoyed playing this more than any of the Pokemon or FE games ranked below, but it was likely just too tough for me to rank the game any lower than this.

14. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV: I don't like this as much as the classic Koei games, at the end of the day, but it's still a very enjoyable experience as a way to play a RotK style game with a more modern polish. I played this one a bit and I'm probably not done with it yet, but I played it enough to say that it's a very worthy successor to the RotK series name, unlike Taishi which was a total failure for me as a Nobunaga's Ambition game.
