On a less serious note: really enjoying Elden Ring - not super far in yet (just did the Glintstone Dragon - that fight was wild and fun).
The range of apparently fully viable playstyles - melee, ranged, magic, etc. is really neat.

My one tip for getting through a FromSoft game is this: use the co-op system.
Now, I am stubborn, I insist on beating all bosses solo. Have since DS1. So instead I use the co-op system to scout the bosses before risking my runes/souls/whatever.

Especially for bosses without a convenient site-of-grace, putting a gold summon right in front of the boss door can get you a bunch of fairly rapid tries at the boss to learn move sets and patterns, again without risking your runes.
And you are, in theory, helping out folks who are struggling with the same fight at the same time, so you can get a warm fuzzy feeling of being a helpful player.
Also, it's sometimes easier to get a full picture of the attacks when they're not aimed at you.

But also, if you are well and truly stuck...use the co-op system. Fights get a LOT easier when the boss has multiple targets, which lets you back off and get space to heal, cast, etc.
Sure you can use summons, but obviously a full on other player is the best summon.
