From LauncherWP | Perspective: “Elden Ring” is a comedy game, and the punchline is you
If you’re a normal person, you’ll yelp and urge your horse into a headlong charge right past the troll. Then, you’ll blaze up a hill, outmaneuvering — or getting turned into a pincushion by — scores of archers. Eventually, the crowded main path will give way to open space. Breathing a deep sigh of relief, you might relax into a more evenly paced trot. Then, three wolves will fall out of the sky, scaring you witless or killing you.
In many other games, this would feel cheap. Why is it raining enemies? Why won’t the game give you a break after you overcame a difficult challenge? “Elden Ring” practically begs you to shout some variation on, “Are you kidding me?” This makes perfect sense.

“Elden Ring” seeks to drive you to the edge of exasperation — the point at which you’re so flummoxed that you can’t help but laugh. Other big-budget video games might occasionally enter that space during their most difficult fights. “Elden Ring” lives there. From the get go, it wants you to know that its world is openly hostile toward you. More importantly, it wants you to understand that this is hilarious. You’re just a little guy in a world full of incredibly big guys.
might sport scores of perfectly timed jokes, “Elden Ring” allows you to choose the pace at which you repeatedly walk into rakes that artfully hit you in the face. These are your brutal failings. It’s not just about some AI routine the developer scripted; it’s about your choice to plunge recklessly into uncertain territory, lust greedily after loot or approach some prowling demigod under the impression that it could be friendly. The punchline, more often than not, is that you got cocky — and the fall that follows pride is something we all enjoy laughing at.In general, people don’t love to be punished for their hubris.
