While technically Elden Ring was already on the "top of my list", it really is one of my most anticipated games of next year alongside Breath of the Wild 2. At this point, they are very similar games, with their differences mostly just being in tone and overall difficulty. I put some time into the Network Test and it's real good. It's Dark Souls, with general QoL improvements, better mobility, and more of a world to travel. It feels a tad barren to start, but I recommend grabbing the horse as soon as possible as it's not really worth it to travel on foot long distances to explore at the start.
