Exploration.

Boss fights and difficult encounters are of course an integral part of Souls games, but they lose their value and punch when they're to be expected every step of the way. Every fucking boss in Elden Ring has the same boring big empty room to fight in, and there's even a special checkpoint MADE for retrying a fight immediately, eliminating runbacks. With the long drawn-out combos, there's obviously an emphasis on lethal boss fights you have to practice against.
