Is it your first soulslike? The first blind playthrough of Darks Souls 1 was a magical experience for me.

Dark Souls 1 still holds a special place in my heart, but be warned that the bosses are going to feel very underwhelming after Elden Ring. It’s a weird thing where the areas themselves are still fairly challenging even compared to ER - maybe even harder - but the bosses are much easier.
The level design of the first 2/3rds of DS1 is to this day the best level design From ever did, I think.

I’m also going through my first DS1 playthrough and, it’s just another vibe. I had no issue adjusting to what the world was giving me. It’s immersive and charming; as you said traversing the world is the challenge here, and feels rewarding af. Elden ring is the culmination of all those years of perfecting boss design under this formula, it’s so great to see where everything comes from. I debated hard wether to play this or demon souls first … Now I don’t want it to end.
