Elden Ring’s Torrent Sets a High Bar For Lords of the Fallen

Elden Ring is seen by many as the pinnacle of the open-world genre. The action RPG from developer FromSoftware shone in most departments, hence why it became the Game of the Year winner last year. Aside from its stellar combat, visuals, and mechanics, Elden Ring managed to nail the concept of what an open world should be, with exploration consistently yielding rewards. Aiding in this exploration was Torrent, the game’s spectral mount, who could be summoned at will, and even used to add new dynamics to combat encounters. Upcoming Soulslike Lords of the Fallen, with its own expansive world waiting to be explored, would do well to have a Torrent of its own.
