Elden Ring Xbox (Digital): $60 $42 @ Microsoft Store
Save $18 on 2022 GOTY winner Elden Ring. This masterpiece is the best open world game we've played. We loved it so much we gave it 4 out of 5-stars and our coveted Editor's Choice award.
Developed by FromSoftware Inc., game of the year winner, Elden Ring is a top-tier RPG game.
In our Elden Ring review, we found the game's striking, open-world environment, and breathtaking sense of scale impressive. We were also fond of the game's challenging bosses. We gave Elden Ring an overall rating of 4 out of 5-stars and our hard to get Editor's Choice award.
As our reviewer states, "Elden Ring’s open-world carefully balances familiarity, staggering spectacle, and the tranquility of nature. During one moment, you’re trudging through a shallow lake occupied by poisonous spores when a gargantuan dragon descends onto a group of enemies surrounding a bonfire." So if role-playing-games are your cup of tea, Elden Ring is a worthy addition to your collection.
Digital game deals are in full swing right now at the Microsoft Store and there's no better time to rack up. As a reminder, this sale ends Jan. 2.
