What If We Haven't Found the BEST Ending of Elden Ring?
These past couple weeks of playing through the Old Testament - sorry, I meant Elden Ring - have been some interesting ones. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the game as much as I did at the beginning, given my lack of interest in all of the other Soulsbourne games.
Nevertheless, the hype of the game itself has kept me engaged with the entry whenever the game itself isn’t managing to hold my attention. I knew from the intro sequence that I wanted to write a sermon on this game - I mean I’m a Methodist and this game’s most consistent mechanic is GRACE come ON -, but, even after hours of research playing the game and more extensive hours on the lore behind the game - I’m not sure about this one.
At first glance, this story feels a little par for the course with the fantasy genre in general, but maybe it’s telling a story that we can learn from as Christians? Let’s explore how this game presents the absolute toxicity of power and compare it with the actual power presented in the Kingdom of God. Let’s talk about it.
