I’m thinking about buying Elden Ring, never played another souls game. I don’t have a controller at the moment, is it playable with mousse and keyboard?

      Pretty much. I’ve played all Soulsborne + Sekiro on PC using kbm, and though it’s not that much easier than using a controller, some things are way better, like fighting unlocked or using bows.

      But you really have to remap some keys, because the default keymap is horrendous.

      Easier?! I think I must have played maybe dark souls 2 on mouse and keyboard. Demons souls, DS1, and DS3 and elden I did all with a controller. If it was an FPS I’d go mouse and keyboard but I don’t know how this game is easier.

      Maybe I should try it again 😅

        I honestly never considered it until now but it makes sense. Mouse sensetiviny can be adjusted so you never need to use the lock on which can open a new dimension of control. Getting stabbed in the back on a controller and monitoring multiple enemies is a bit tricky sometimes.

        Next time I boot it up I’m going to give it a shot.
