The Best Modern Open-World RPG Actually Isn't Elden Ring

A GameRant opinion piece argues Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is the better modern open-world RPG than Elden Ring.

The article says KCD2 offers deeper role-playing systems, stronger narrative, and more meaningful world reactivity.

Reputation, consequences, and immersive interactions are presented as its biggest strengths.

Elden Ring is still praised for combat and fantasy spectacle, but seen as less rich in RPG simulation.
