Unlike Dark Souls or Bloodborne, FromSoft wants you to see *exactly* what's about to batter you.
I've spent a fair amount of time in Dark Souls and Bloodborne. In these games, there is very much a feeling of being lockedwith monsters. Small corridors, dark rooms, thick, choking smoke surrounding you. Whatever is in this city, this room, this shack, this castle is ready to kill you. It's waiting for you to look the wrong way, to fall for a trap, to forget to look up before stepping into unknown territory.
Stepping into the castle and coming up that lift into the main courtyard is hair-raising. Irina's eyes couldn't see how awful the rebellion was. She couldn't warn you of the horror of the piled bodies, the sickly amalgamation of the misbegotten, or the corpses hanged in abundance from the rafters. Even though these bodies are of soldiers whose remnants have attacked you a dozen times already, you're repelled. This was a slaughter of hundreds. It's ghastly.
And perhaps against expectation, some of Elden Ring's darkest areas, like the underground, are way less scary. Take the Siofra River. Coming down the well lift for the first time is very different from arriving in Castle Morne. Instead of disgust, you're filled with wonder and surprise as you descend. Down here, in what should be the darkest, dimmest area you've come across so far, you find beauty exceeding even perhaps the Erdtree.
