The level of craftsmanship they brought to this game really blew me away. Many open-world games have a feeling of emptiness or a lot of pointless content to fill in their map. Not so for Elden Ring - every area feels like they added something meaningful and interesting. Exploring is very rewarding

Exactly. Every enemy placement is relevant to the lore. Even their moves, spells, incantations tell you something about the backstory. This was what I like in the Souls series, but they had a "linear" path. To think they pulled this off in one of the most massive maps in a video game (without any DLCs!) is incredible.
