If there's one thing FromSoftware consistently nails, it's hub zones. Firelink Shrine, Roundtable Hold, The Nexus, and Hunter's Dream all ooze atmosphere, and provide brief respite between getting your head stomped. My favorite has always been Dark Souls 2's Majula, though. The quaint village is bathed in calm sunlight, punctuated by sparse piano notes. It's a far cry from the challenges that await you, and becomes more welcoming each time you return. If you wish Elden Ring's Roundtable Hold was more like Majula, have I got just the mod for you.
