#BGG TIDAL BLADES SIMULATOR#
The entire goal of PowerWash Simulator is to use a power washer to clean off grime and filth from various vehicles and locations. PowerWash Simulator is one of the most “no thoughts” games out there, and it has nothing in common with Elden Ring. It’s a great mix between the jaw-clenching combat of Elden Ring and a chill romp around the world. Sure, you’ll have to get into the zone when you reach a boss, but otherwise you can use your little bird legs to explore far and wide in this relaxing adventure. It’s both punishing and remarkably chill, with the world acting as its own, low-stakes puzzle to solve.

If you need something with a more loving undertone that still deals with the finality of death, Spiritfarer is a great jump after Elden Ring. It’s definitely sad, in the way loss always is, but there’s a hopeful twinge there. You create bonds with each soul, and help them embrace eternity comfortably, when they’re ready. But instead of being grim and creepy, it’s wholesome. In Spiritfarer, you ferry the souls of the dead through the afterlife and to their final resting place. Spiritfarer may be about death, but it has very little in common with Elden Ring. While it’s certainly much simpler than From’s latest, and not nearly as long, it’s a great little adventure that won’t feel like whiplash after the punishing Lands Between. It’s also got some of the light horror elements seen in Elden Ring, although filtered through a much cuter art style. It’s punishing, its systems are obfuscated, and failure comes with a price. Hollow Knight is an excellent metroidvania with some serious FromSoftware leanings.

You can deviate from the path, but only in short bursts, and it’s usually just for a breezy puzzle that will eventually funnel you back to where you need to go next. Sure, it takes place in the ruins of a once great land, but that’s the only thing the two games have in common. Tonally, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is about as far from Elden Ring as you can get.
Tunic will give you different vibes while also making for a natural transition if you’re still looking to punish your reflexes and scratch the old noggin. But it’s also cute and colorful and bright. At times, it’s frustratingly difficult and it tells you almost nothing about how it works or what you need to do. It’s a game about a little fox tasked with roaming around a world and solving puzzles. Tunic captures some of Elden Ring’s freedom, complexity, and opaqueness.

You’re never going to get that perfect 1-to-1 Elden Ring feeling without jumping into Bloodborne, Dark Souls, or Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. But each pair will also have a theme that unites them, to better guide your choice of genre or vibe. Each group will offer one suggestion that’s similar to Elden Ring and another that’s nothing like Elden Ring. We’ve broken 15 games into eight unique categories. So where do you go next after finishing one of the best games ever made? We can help you with that. And after 100+ hours with FromSoftware’s magnum opus, you’re either ready for something new or are chasing the next Elden Ring to tide you over until the inevitable sequel. It transplants FromSoftware’s tried-and-true design pillars of difficulty and experimentation into the sprawling Lands Between.
