Overview
Description

Elden Ring is a challenging open-world action RPG that brings FromSoftware’s punishing combat into a vast, explorable land conceived with George R. R. Martin. It rewards curiosity and mastery with deep build variety and cryptic, atmospheric storytelling.

MediEvil II is an action‑adventure title that drops Sir Daniel Fortesque into a grim yet comedic Victorian‑era London. Resurrected by a sorcerer’s spell, Dan must recover scattered pages of Zarok’s spellbook, battling undead, solving puzzles, and even using his own detached head to progress. The game blends hack‑and‑slash combat with platforming and brain‑teasing challenges, introducing a ghostly sidekick, a time‑travel mechanic, and a romance with the mummy princess Kiya. Collect all chalices for a special ending that sends Dan and Kiya back through time.

Pricing

Around $59.99; Shadow of the Erdtree expansion sold separately.
