As someone who doesn't play any games on console and cannot handle realtime action combat very well (combat in Witcher 3 was very difficult and frustrating for me, for example), I never even considered Elden Ring as a game I might want to try. Could you please give me some of your thoughts on what is so great about it? I'm truly curious.
It builds up on the basic systems defined during the Dark Souls trilogy, which was already up there as one of the best action combats available on the market.
On top of that, both the trilogy and its "derivative" Elden Ring deliver great mood and atmosphere, an intriguing (if cryptic) narrative and one of the best cases of "sense of wonder/adventure" exploring everything they have to offer.
Of course, if someone absolutely hates the entire genre they are part of and has something like malfunctioning wrists, making him physically unable to play any action game, there may be no redemption arc at the end of the story.

Back to the topic, I spent the last month playing a freaking lot of Age of Wonders 4, then diving into Tears of the Kingdom (which is indeed good and with some great moment, but not something I'm so crazily in love with, like the rest of the world seems to be) and for good measure I also had a quick re-run with Metroid Dread, which weirdly enough I wasn't the biggest fan of, at first, but I seem to like a bit more every time I go back to it.
Last two played on PC with an emulator, because fuck dealing with the Switch hardware limitations, honestly.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
