The struggle is the point. In this video, I explore the message of Elden Ring. I look at influences like the tragic beauty of Berserk and the philosophy of Nietzsche, plus the game analysis of contemporary philosophy C Thi Nguyen. It all reveals the picture Elden Ring paints, one which, from Ranni to Jar Alexander, says yes to life. I hope you enjoy.
