Matt chose Elden Ring as his Game of 2022
Far beneath the sewers of Leyndell Royal Capital, well off the beaten track, lies what's perhaps Elden Ring's most haunting tableau. With Mohg dispatched, a vast underground catacomb is revealed, and – as you wade through the countless corpses within, each frozen in eternal anguish – a terrible, genocidal truth is laid bare.
It's a delicious lens shift, made all the more delectable because there's a good chance you'll get through Elden Ring without ever once contemplating its Outer Gods, oblivious to the cosmic nightmare peering provocatively from behind the curtain.
But Elden Ring's secret history feels like FromSoftware shaking off those shackles for another crack at cosmic horror, this time on its own terms, and getting it wonderfully right. Elden Ring's existential revelation isn't front and centre, but glittering obscenely on the periphery for the perennially, perhaps dangerously, curious to find.
