All the gaming fans had been anticipating its debut for a long time. However, there were several uncertainties looming over the project when there was no word from the developing team temporarily. Fortunately, the wait ended last week when Elden Ring arrived on February 25.

Mostly, all the critics have given it a perfect score so far. In fact, on Metacritic, Elden Ring is featured as one of the best-rated games of all time.

Amidst so much praise, its writer, George R.R. Martin also shared his views and thoughts on what was the most anticipated title of 2022:

“Music to the ears.

“Of course, almost all the credit should go to Hidetaka Miyazaki and his astonishing team of games designers who have been laboring on this game for half a decade or more, determined to create the best videogame ever.”

As per the author, the majority of the credit for Elden Ring goes to its director himself, along with the team members of FromSoftware.

He also added that he was honored to meet the people at the studio known for various ‘Souls-like’, iconic titles.

Elden Ring is now available for the following platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
