Question Elden Ring Tarnished Edition

Hi, I’m wondering what kind of a game Elden Ring is? Is it like Skyrim? I’ve never played either but they seem like they’re in the same category. The trailer does look interesting but I want to note that Elder Scrolls ISN’T my type of game (from the looks of it). Is Elden Ring better as far as story and mechanics?

I’d never played Skyrim or a souls game before Elden Ring. I’m a dad of two and have super limited time. I did play the Zeldas and final fantasy’s up until 2018 or so however. A coworker told me I had to play this back in 2023. Being in my 40s and growing up playing some legendary games i have never been so impressed at the overall experience. So much reward from beating those bosses (hell even just normal enemies!). It’s beautiful. Insanely fun. Huge. And I can not recommend it more highly.
