Elden Ring is "the limit" for From Software project scale, says Miyazaki - multiple, "smaller" games may be the "next stage" (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

I think Elden Ring has much greater variety than any other open world game. I agree there’s quite a bit of copy pasting, but even after playing for more than 50 hours, I’m surprised with new enemy types and environments (especially now with the DLC). I think it’s exciting to explore every corner of Elden Ring.

Compare it with Tears of the Kingdom. It felt like I’ve seen most the game had to offer after 10 hours. I lost the excitement of exploring rather quickly.

Shrines in BOTW were the worst. The engine was genuinely interesting. Everything being legitimately traversable and designed around stamina was great, and I'd love to see more games utilize the premise that everything you see is accessible. But all that traversal just never got you anywhere interesting. Eventually you'd find a shrine, take longer to load it than beat it, then load back into the world.

TOTK I just never got far enough to feel if it improved.
