Elden Ring is this year's best-selling game. It's also the main candidate to win Game of the Year. Its closest competition is God of War: Ragnarok, which comes out in November, but the verdict is still out on the PlayStation exclusive.
Part of Elden Ring's appeal is its massive and enchanting open-world environment as well as its accessible gameplay. However, since it is still a FromSoftware game, it has to maintain its reputation. To that end, Elden Ring is just as difficult as its genre-spawning cousins, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. Of course, just like other Soulsborne games, Elden Ring attracts its fair share of uniquely skilled players that make even its most challenging bosses look like child's play.
Elden Ring's biggest example of this is Klein Tsuboi, AKA "Let Me Solo Her."
Unlike other players that wear overly flamboyant gear, Tsuboi arms his character with a pair of dual katanas and a pot. Yet, despite the relative lack of equipment, Tsuboi has earned a reputation for helping other players kill Malenia, arguably Elden Ring's toughest boss.
