I'm guessing you missed the tutorial area and kept dying at the tree sentinel in limegrave?
I mean I think I spent like 20 hours in the character creation screen alone.
No I did the tutorial and opened up quite a bit of the map, that empty, empty map. In comparison, I'm now playing Tears of the kingdom, and I'm amazed at how alive the world is, and how there's a new secret around every bend. It's also a game anyone can pick up and learn, from non gamers to veterans. That's what makes a great game, accessibility and fun. I found nothing fun about Elden ring, from it's ugly look to it's bland crafting and smithing, to the lack of anything to do beyond just killing the same things over and over and over and over, while occasionally finding a random NPC that has absolutely nothing of substance to say to you.
I'm very happy for you that you found a game you like.
I haven't yet played tears of the kingdom but many people love it.
It might be true for TotK too, but my favorite part of Elden Ring (and all from software games) is the environmental storytelling which can be very easy to miss since most games nowadays don't seem to have that attention to detail.
