I was in a similar position. I've at least tried almost all of the games since Demon's Souls on PS3 (plus a few other Soulslikes like Surge 2 & Last Remnant [edit: Last Remnant is something else entirely, i dunno. It was something like that]) and I could never get into them. Elden Ring especially is exactly the kind of world I love in games and I wanted so much to enioy it. It took a handful of 10-15-hour attempts over nearly two years before it finally clicked with me and I started really getting into it back in December. I got the platinum last week and then started Sekiro for the first time a few days ago, so let's see how that goes.
My advice, if you can't get into it give it a few months then take another honest crack at it. If you don't enjoy yourself that's fine, just try again next time you start thinking about the game, but if that switch finally flicks on you can clear your schedule for the next fortnight.
