I am on the older side, really like everything about Elden Ring, except the difficulty. Is there games like Elden Ring but easier?

      Maybe Mass Effect? The 2nd and 3rd especially for the “a” in arpg, imo.

      Also, I know you said Western but since you mentioned Elden Ring I’d also recommend Dragon’s Dogma and Monster Hunter. Maybe Devil May Cry, but that’s a bit more hack n slash.

      God of War 2018 is a great one too if you’re on PlayStation or PC. Probably the easiest game I listed, while also having some optional crazy difficult fights in the side/postgame content. Valkyrie Queen was harder for me than most Souls bosses lol.

      I know Baldurs Gate 3 is a turn based combat game, but i’ll shamelessly plug since it’s absolutely fantastic. Difficulty is easy to switch, a great game to explore!

      If you liked Witcher 3, grab Cyberpunk. Better gameplay and very similar approach (main story quests with decisions to make, side quests, tiny bit of exploring). And it’s a western game on top.

      Of course this only works if you’re actually interested in the Cyberpunk Scenario and you don’t want to play mostly Fantasy games.
