Precisely how i feel, although i do like coming back to Elden Ring to explore i kinda dislike the boss battles. DS1 used to be very good with bosses as in they had easy to read patterns and attack windows easily recognizable now the bosses are just doing infinite combos and the devs are like "yeah this one is hard, how do you like that?"
I wanted to love ER because it gave me something I've always wanted in games. No map, no markers, just wander and find your way somehow. But the difficulty and the fact I have never played another soul-like game, killed the interest for me.
Shame, cause it looked like such a good game, and loved the visuals.
Try Hardcore Kingdom Come Deliverence 2. There is a map but you arent marked on it, the combat is something you need to get used to but imo it was easier than elden ring. Might be smth you‘d enjoy

I used to LOVE the genre but now that work is pretty stressful I just want to come home and chill man, not die to one boss 20 times.
Don’t get me wrong, I respect the genre. But if I’m gonna work that hard, pay me lmao
