Elden Ring looks precious as an isometric RPG

I’m not sure how it would play, but with the extreme camera angle that YouTuber Flurdeh has applied here, Elden Ring looks a whole lot less intimidating. This looks almost like miniatures being brought to life in extremely detailed RPG tabletop scenes.

Flurdeh’s tilt-shift effect makes huge games seem precious. In the past year they’ve done The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 and, yes, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Before Elden Ring, God of War was the most recent adventure to get the treatment. This tilt-shift is mostly an adjustment to the depth of field and other settings in order to create the toyland effect. The photo mode toolkit used comes courtesy of Frans Bouma.

This means the Lands Between’s most dreary, forbidding aspect is its music selection. It should inspire you to take Elden Ring a closer look. This is a difficult game. The guides section of Polygon has tons of information for those new to the game, particularly those with no experience in Souls.
