The Putrid Avatars inElden Ringare a perfect example of the way that FromSoftware designed its latest title to push players to rethink the way that they approach even familiar boss fights. This is because not only are the Erdtree and Putrid Avatars examples ofbosses that are repeated inElden Ring, but also use an olderDark Soulsmoveset to punish players for relying on older strategies.

Many would still be forgiven, though, if they started the franchise withFar Cry 3. Far Cry 3isn’t just the best entry in the franchise, it’s many players’ firstFar Crygame....
