    I have just finished the game for the second time, once as a full caster build and once as a full strength build, so I think I can finally say that yes, I definitely do recommend Elden Ring.

    This is without a doubt FROM's most accessible game ever, you can tell they've put a lot of effort into the new player experience. They have also added a ton of quality of life changes which are very welcome even to a veteran player. That's not to say the game is easier though, because it's not, and some bosses are without a doubt some of the most challenging they've ever created.

    The move to open world was risky but I would say it paid off for the most part, although the game being so open and especially vertical did make for some frustrating moments when you were left thinking "how the hell do I get over there?", and sometimes the answer was extremely convoluted.

    The gameplay feels fresher than ever, with more ways to play and more viable builds. Magic has never felt so good, even a little too good at times. You also have weapon ashes which are like weapon special moves which add a ton of customisation to your build. On top of all that you have Incarnations which are like spells but more holy (faith) focused. There are many end-game builds which are all very different and all viable, which gives the game a lot of replayability. And speaking of replayability, you'll almost certainly want to do at least a second playthrough as you will miss a ton unless you're following a guide, it's impossible not to as the game has so much content that is off the beaten patch.

    So far I have been extremely positive but the game isn't perfect and the issues need to be brought up. First and foremost the game suffers from stuttering, regardless of your hardware, this is a fundamental game issue and you will experience it (whether you'll notice it or not is a different matter). If you are sensitive to performance problems you will definitely notice this issue as it's very prevalent in certain areas. The online co-op is also massively broken, you will be met with "unable to summon co-operator" errors all the time, it doesn't work more often than it does, so if you're planning to play with friends or just like to summon help from random players you may have a bad time. The later portion of the game is also a bit of a let-down, with several of the bosses being overwhelming difficult, as a veteran I struggled, so if this is your first time playing a FROM game just prepare yourself for the fact the difficultly dials up to 11 very rapidly towards the end, more so than any other FROM game. I also found the final boss extremely underwhelming, I won't spoil it but it's not a fun fight IMO.

    For the most part the game is a massive success, the amount of content is unbelievable, the world they've created is gorgeous, thematically the bosses are incredible and it has never been easier to jump into a FROM title. Most of the issues can be fixed, but only time will tell if they are. The bottom line is, if you're a fan of FROM games you will love Elden Ring, and if you're not, there has never been a better time to jump in as a new player.    … Expand

    Elden ring is one of the best FromSoftware games. The good points to highlight are its graphic section along with gameplay and the wide variety of enemies and bosses throughout the map, but my only negative point is the drop in FPS on PC, although the studio is already working on a solution to that problem.

    After elden ring we need something new, it’s everything we have ever dreamed a fantasy rpg to be.

    0 only because it’s 60fps capped instead of 144?

MY PC    If you're reading this, and love dark souls. just buy it. ignore all reviews. judge for yourself. if you have never played a dark souls game. this will be your easiest entry. but if you get frustrated easily, break controllers on losses, or have very short attention span... this may not be the game for you.

    my review will be mostly addressing the Review Bombers complaints.

    MY PC SPECS
    for disclosure I'm running this on PC with a Ryzen 9 3900x, Gtx 1660ti and 32gb of ram and have been running it on 1080p. I personally have no issues with performance myself, though I acknowledge that other pc users have. I have 50 hrs into this game

    STUTTERS:
    The stutters that I have seen others experiencing however are not game breaking. they look slightly annoying but seem to happen only on the first load of something you haven't seen before and still only seldomly regardless. if you are enjoying the game you will barely notice them (according to a friend who is experiencing them) I removed 1 point for that on my score and no more due to the review bombers doing more then their fair share already with zero scores for little to no reasons.

    JUST A SOULS GAME:
    review bombers are complaining its just another souls game but in an open world. Yes that's exactly what it is. and its what we were always told we were getting. This was literally never a secret. From day one of its announcement we all knew that, and its exactly what the fans wanted. everyone saw the gameplay prior to purchase. don't act surprised.

    COMBAT:
    review bombers have made claims that the combat is clunky. i assure you It is not. as a matter of fact it is extremely precise. as are the hitboxes. what may make it feel clunky, is if you button mash. this game, as all prior souls games have, punishes button mashing rather then rewarding it.

    ANIMATION:
    Yes there is truth to animations being re-used or in the case of NPC's talking. downright lazy on the developers. it would be nice to see an effort made there. I don't mind re-using some old properties on some of the enemies attacks. as there is far more new enemies with all new abilities.

    GRAPHICS:
    outdated looking graphics? this is a lazy complaint. the game is quite gorgeous. could it be better. yes. is it bad. no. and it certainly isn't so awful it deserves a zero score for the entire game.

    OPEN WORLD:
    the bombers are also complaining the open world isn't rewarding or is dead space? this couldn't be further from the truth. you can't go more then a few seconds in any direction without finding a dungeon, a mini boss, a secret cave, an item or an NPC. Elden Ring is one of if not the most densly packed open worlds I've ever played.

    STORY:
    people complaining that there is no story? The merit to this is that no, once again the game doesn't hold your hand and jam the plot down your throat with cutscene after cutscene. as a matter of fact if you aren't closely listening or reading you will very likely get lost in the "plot" as they don't rehash whos related to who or what things are over and over again. but there is story. and you get more and more of it with every NPC interaction you have. and its actually relatively easy to follow if you pay attention.

    QUEST LOG:
    its true the game doesn't give you a quest log. And it can be kind of hard to know where to go at times. however the game tells you EXACTLY where to go right off the bat if you speak to the first NPC you meet once entering the open world. and once you follow that bit to conclusion an NPC at the main hub (round table) tells you exactly where and who you need to beat next with lore and story on each enemy. hell your map even marks where you are supposed to go for these with bright golden waves regardless whether you spoke to this NPC or not.

    DIFFICULTY:
    last but not least. its difficult. and there are built in ways to make it easier but no there isn't an option on the main menu. while it seems like a troll move. Hardcore players only advice to give you is to "Git Gud"

    But that's because its literally the only advice they can give you. There is no secret weapon or armor to make it easy. those can help but what matters is your skill. timing, rolls, parries, strategy and patience. Don't button mash, pay attention to your opponents move sets. avoid getting greedy in dealing damage. yes its hard. but in order to push forward, you learn from your mistakes and don't be afraid to get some help from some co-op if you need it. Git Gud sound a bit trolly. but its also the best advice you can be given.

    CONCLUSION:
    If you Enjoy Dark Souls games you will love this game. it's open world is beautiful. the combat is clean and precise. There are tons of ways to customize your character to be unique to you and like never before. there are a ton of quality of life upgrades, "praise the jump" take the review bombers with a grain of salt. in my opinion most of their complaints are likely to justify quitting because it was difficult.    … Expand

    On PC I've had few of the problems, from my own looking into the problems it seems the problems are only with the highest end computers not the mid range computers like mine. On the game play it feels like a more refined and expanded Dark Souls 3, so for those familiar with From Soft think better DS3 with a massive open world.

    For anyone not familiar with the games, this is a game that takes time and skills that you'll learn by playing, from boss moves and when to attack, roll/jump to not get hit. When playing there's always a way to avoid damage but learning how to get around it will take time. That's to say the "Get good" meme is actually the advice due to every play-style being just as viable as each other, but ultimately Elden Ring just like the other Souls-born games they aren't easy games that everyone will be able to just pick up, but if you have the time and patience you can get good enough to go the whole game never taking damage at level 1.    … Expand

    - I play video games regulary but i'm not that good, i can struggle and i'm not a "sweat" type player

    - I did not experienced any performance issues while playing elden ring for some reason, even with my laptop (gtx1070, 16 gb of ram)

    - Even if give the game 10/10, i don't think EVERYONE, should play it, every games are differents and offers differents type of experience and therefore, every game is not meant for everybody.

    BUT



    Elden ring is for me a : masterpiece. As an artist who works in the videogame industry, i find the art direction unmatched, the graphical quality of the game is not meant to reproduce the reality with gorgeous texture but i look FANTASTIC nevertheless. As you progress to the world you are in constant ah of what the game as to offer in his character design, places, music everything come together to immerse the player in the dangerous world of the land between.

    The game in itself is extremely dense there are cave, ruin, fort, castle in every corner, and it feels really rewarding to be curious, because of the variety of enemies and unique loot to find in those caves. Even with an open world dense like that, the main level that you have to go through for the story have the same quality of the game before them, but with a lot more verticality you Can go 3 time in the same castle and find 3 differents way to explore it.

    In term of gameplay, for a "souls veterant" like me, i feel like this game offers the most ways to build your character in any ways you want, you can customize weapons by swapping theyre special attacks, and use whatever tool you want to tackle the game difficulty : you want to be a tanky mage ? A fast bowman ? A heavy knight with dragons power ? You can do it and mix everything while still maintining it viable and enjoyable.

    Now let's talk about the elephant in the room : The difficulty. If you're new to the serie i think this is the best place to start, elden ring is still challenging in the classical souls way, but there is a loot of tools to give the player a little rest in combat (like summoning npc to fight with you on command) and a lot of ranged weapons and ways to fight.
    Additionaly, elden ring being an open world you can explore the world to seamlessly lvl up before trying to tackle a boss. This give the player room to breath in between bosses.

    I will add that from software games are suffering from their reputation of being difficult. It's not an easy game, and it requires a little bit of getting used to. But after some time if you're willing to learn how the games works, you can finish the game without that much of problems. And i really encourage people to do it because it's really rewarding.

    For me who was tired of most recent video games, Elden ring give the fresh experiencz i needed to "fall in love in a game" once again. The last time i felt like this playing was in zelda breath of the wild, it feels like i'm entering a new world, with everything to learn and it's a lot lot lot of fun.

    And uf you're worry about the lenght of the game, be not. It's really really big and it has a lot of quests outside of the main one, it take probalbly 80 to 100 hours to finish the first playthrough, without taking all the npc quests.

    So yeah 10/10 because Elden ring is exactly what itns aspiring to be, it's different from everything i've played, it's beautyfull it sounds good, the voice acting is perfect, i'm never bored while exploring the open world, it's not frustrating to fight boss, and it has a lot of replayability with all the builds and differents branch of quests(And yes it's different from dark souls, it's not just BIG DARK SOULS 4) Don't hesitate give it a go.    … Expand

    This is a great intro to the Souls genre that deconstructs the open-world genre and asks the question: Is this really necessary for gameplay, or does this ruin the experience by design?

    By taking a minimalistic approach to assisting the player, the game gives you the agency to make any choice and explore any path. However, the game also provides "guiding grace" to give you direction if you chose to play the game in a linear fashion. This separation of exploration and objective is fundamental to open world games and yet so many restrict large amounts of exploration behind multiple meaningless objectives, gates, or levels which hinder player immersion.

    Instead, by nudging the player through difficulty and death, you learn how to experience the game and succeed, and that's why I enjoy this game.

    That is to say it is not without it's flaws:

    It makes the assumption you have played video games and understand how gameplay in a exploration game works. It makes the assumption human stubbornness is limited and that players will make the objectively better choice to explore and return rather than continue and become frustrated. The lore can sometimes be limited and only explained through items, though depending on who you ask the mystery is half of the enjoyment.

    Some critical NPCs that can make the game much easier are just randomly hidden away, for you to find in the first area (spirit summoning, ashes of war seller). This makes melee gameplay harder if you miss them. Spellcasters and prayer teachers are much more abundant and ends up leading to a playstyle where going purely with combat leads to more unintended difficulty than being a little bit of both blade and spell/prayer. Skills (ashes of war) do a decent job offsetting this issue, but they are not easily acquired though are great after acquiring.

    It also is not well optimized for PC, dropping frames when loading between areas and during some sequences.

    Visually it is semi-dated, but its scenery and framing make the world look like so much more than it is, you hardly ever end up noticing the fine details due to to gorgeous views and sprawling architecture, all of which, yes, you can get there, yes, you can explore. The vertical enormity of the game makes its smaller overall map feel massive and full of places to explore. Best of all, not being able to climb restricts you but also motivates you to reach places you have yet to explore. I have stopped for many moments just to take in the view and appreciate the world I am exploring. ("Gorgeous view ahead" indeed!)

    Overall I give this game a 9.5/10 for its excellent gameplay and the overall experience. I loved every moment I had with it, and can easily see myself replaying it on New Game +    … Expand

    Cinematics are awesome too and it has so much good content, that it blew my mind.
    The quests and story is also wonderful and I was never more into a game as Elden Ring overall. Definetely a 10/10.

    Now lets talk about the current "controvery":
    Some Game devs (Especially the sore loosers at ubisoft) badmouthed this game with various untrue reasons like: missing UI, bad graphics, overhyped by game critics and so on (,while being unable to make good games theirself).
    Saddest part is, that some ubi-fanboys are reviewbombing this game and giving their favourite "open world game" perfect score. They usually copy ubisofts and over devs words and just add the "bad performance" part for PC, which mostly has been fixed for people above min. reqiurements.

    If you don't like it or even hate the game, I guess it's okay if you give like a 5. But it shouldn't be objectively possible to give below 5 because it's in every aspect amazing. Now to all the Fanboys/Clowns: If you really hate it, it's okay. Taste is objective.
    If you think the game is bad because of gameplay or graphics then you didn't know what game you bought in the first place and you are a fool.
    If the game doesn't run smoothly, next time read the System requirements, which they posted like 1 week even before release.

    If you cry about UI, lore or just copy the stupid/false words from the "devs", just go to your corner and play your easy/boring/bad microtransaction games with 800 questmarker/waypoints on the map where you just follow a path like a bot without thinking/playing yourself. If that's the case, you are the reason why gaming gets bad and gives money to those big "triple A" companys, who exploit clowns like you.

    If you want to fight me in an argument about this, just add me on steam or write me a comment there. Can't wait how many clowns are going to write "interesting stuff" and white knight their favourite game in comparison to elden ring.

However, because of the amount of exposure this game has gotten its received purchases from all over the gaming sphere, players from every type of background have gotten their hands on this game and it shows. Well the game is challenging, it isn't impossible, and never tries to surprise you in the progression or game design of boss fights and so on. The problem seems to stem from players' ability to learn new tactics, read the menus and understand what they're capable of in gameplay. Many don't want to take on these new challenges or learn new things so you end up with a user score like we have right now. I've seen so complaints they could simply be solved if people would just read and try to understand what they want to do with their builds.

    Some of the cons in this game mostly are to due to their dx12 implementation on PC, the game struggles with shader buffers, and while you play for the first time, every time you encounter new textures and effects you have a change of stutters. These stutters can only happen once on the first time they're loaded so over longer play sessions you will experience them less and less. I'm inclined to believe this will be fixed, but it is frustrating to encounter this stuttering during boss fights.

    If you enjoy challenges and have a healthy ability to take a loss and improve the holes in your game, this game hands down is one of the best experiences you'll play.    … Expand

    The world is dense enough that exploring is fun with many hidden little places to discover.

    Quests are hidden away in the world and obscure enough that you can walk right by them if you aren't paying attention.

    The combat is deep and satisfying, it has built on every previous FromSoftware game and is as tight as ever.

    The game is much more accessible than any previous souls games and the difficulty is fairly smooth with only sharp spikes in and around major boss fights.

    在只狼发布后三年，FromSoftware 终于端上了魂类游戏的正餐。这款和只狼同时期立项的游戏，再次以一个不可思议的姿态呈现在广大玩家面前。200小时+充满新鲜感的探索与挑战。几十种不同的战斗体验。更别说 PVP 这种一期一会，和单人 PVE 体验完全不同的玩法，还是随游戏附送的。丰富的可玩量足以让友商汗颜。

    法环将传统魂类游戏的诸多设计元素都提升到了新的高度，包括地图设计的精妙感、角色构筑的可能性、Boss挑战的丰富度。Boss的恢弘感和场景的美术氛围依旧是顶尖水准。

    拿跳跃举例，主角仅仅比前作黑魂多了跳跃动作，地图的可探索路线就比前作增加一个维度。同时战斗动作也比前作增加了一个维度，跳跃可以躲避横扫攻击，跳跃攻击还拥有更高削韧更高耗精。

    再拿地图设计举例，整个游戏世界也有魂系地图的箱庭设计。

    交界地也有垂直维度的探索路线。很多城堡墓地中会有看到但拿不到的发光物品，玩家往往得找到“隐藏”的分支路线，在新区域一顿上上下下，才能捡到。世界地图上，白金村上方是月光祭坛，下方是安塞尔河。白金村外就能看到月光祭坛的教堂，你却需要从别处探索到下方安塞尔河，才能到达上方月光祭坛，这是异曲同工的设计。另外，像史东薇尔、壶村、魔法学院等地区，从地图看四面八方都能进去，实际四面八方都是悬崖阻碍，只有一条凶险的正路等待你发现并前往，这是类似的探索设计。

    交界地也有多分支的攻略路线。在大型城堡内部，攻略路线往往不止一条。世界地图上，从利耶尼亚前往亚坛高原，就有三种路线，你选择了一条路，其他路线就成了支线，也是异曲同工的设计。

    法环还远不完美，比如引擎画质还是前作的水平，新手门槛还是挺高，还是坐火才能刷新NPC剧情，无脑跳转的传送门有点多，梅琳娜升级不出现，破碎战争CG没放进游戏……等等。也许老贼需要一款新的血源，让团队尝试新的引擎，尝试新的游戏表现方式。然而成本不是无限的，老贼深谙取舍之道。在游玩体验第一的目标下，该较真的绝不含糊，该放下的绝不纠结。于是尽管还有缺点，但那种痛并快乐的挑战，那种前有绝景的探索，那种玩法的融合与推广，在本作都得到了远超前作的释放！

    法环的出现无疑让近几年疲软的游戏界感受到了惊艳。诚如老贼所言，法环是魂系游戏的集大成之作。艾尔登法环无疑是魂类游戏新的巅峰。

    游戏还在更新中。

    再次，预定年度最佳！    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. About 37 hours into the game so this is an accurate review of Elden Ring. First of all to play this game you need an attention span of an adult not a young child. The story opens up as you progress through the game. Dark Souls players like myself will see some much needed mechanic’s that were improved from Dark Souls IP. If you follow the correct pathway set for your character building you will enjoy the end result. Is it a challenging game? Absolutely. The game is designed for people who want to explore a new world and build their character for their play style. I can only say one moment that was disheartening and that was a player invader who killed me over and over, basically griefing me and making my game not fun. There is a way out of this invasion though. When you get to resting place at fire simply move to a different area on map. I only kept fighting for my 4,000 runes, which eventually I retrieved and moved my game elsewhere on map. Hint: If you find your way to the round table you are on the right track.… Expand

    There is ample freedom to explore, creativity in tackling obstacles, and just when you find yourself on the verge of boredom or thinking you're approaching end game, the world opens up further and new challenges put you back in your place.

It never gets boring exploring the world because there is so much variety in the biomes and its enemies and it never feels empty thanks to all the things that you can find. I have almost 200hrs in this game and I beat it only once but that's because I took it very slowly and tried to explore everything and the thing is that I probably still missed some stuff.

    The story is simply amazing and in my opinion, even better than in From Software's previous titles. There are much more memorable characters and I really love the way they are related to the world, other characters and your character.

    The story is told through the things you see in the world, the items that you find and its characters instead of exposition. This style of storytelling works amazingly for a RPG and leaves a lot of room for your imagination and allows for a very personal journey.
    It's like reading a book except you're playing a video game!

    I didn't even mention the amazing gameplay and how great the combat is. The combat of course has similarities to Dark Souls but you have much more tools at your disposal. You can summon Spirits, use an item that turns enemies against each other, use so many spells with different categories like dragon spells, lightning spells, holy spells, magic spells, a friggin' laser and much more. If you use melee weapons you can use a new counter move, which is very useful and fun to use, you can also now equip weapons of the same type to each hand and then attack with both (like in Dark Souls 2) and Poise works like in Dark Souls 1.
    The best of all worlds!
    The horse combat is also amazing, you can just spawn the horse whenever you like and it's more of a extension of your character instead of an annoying transportation tool.
    But my favorite new feature is that normal weapons can be customized with different skills and thanks to that they can be equally as fun to use as boss weapons/unique weapons.

    The only negative things that I found are:
    - When picking up an item, there is no button to go to the inventory page, you have to go there yourself if you want to read the description
    - Switching between usable items is a little hard
    - Coop on the open world is not very fun since you can't use the horse while playing online
    - There are some specific places where you can go and find no item but those are few and far between
    - Performance and the lack of Playstation button icons

    But those are very minor issues and don't stop me from giving this game a 10/10!

    A lot of the bad reviews stem from players who desire to be held by the hand with every step they take. You will have to keep track of the pieces of information you acquire and find your own unique way. I think it is very refreshing that there is no large arrow pointing into the correct direction.    … Expand

    Cons: Currently there are problems with the pc problem like stuttering, freezing, etc. M+K is bad but its a souls game, why arent you using a gamepad. Netcode is really buggy. It will disconnect a cooperator or invader randomly and quite often, like maybe 7/10 it will do it.

Graphics were never the strong suit of From Software games, so don't expect photo-realistic graphics, but its not a complain, the graphics are not bad either, its better than DS3 but worse than the Demon's Souls Remake for PS5.
    I was afraid of the open world, open world games normally are repetitive and empty, not Elden Ring tho, the world is full of things to do, every corner, every little cave has something waiting for you, if i have one complain is some bosses are reused especially on dungeons, but, normally makes sense, like, a knight from a army or a regiment, of course there are more then just the one knight dude, its a army after all. There are plenty of unique bosses and enemies, probably more than any other From Software game before.
    From software already proved that it is willing to release new patches for the game so than can correct any performance or balance issues, at this time i have played it in full once, exploring everything I found, killing every boss I encountered and I have to say this game has a lot of content, and a lot of it is a homage to past Souls-Borne games.
    If you already love the genre, this is a must buy, if you're new to the genre, this game offers a lot of ways to make you life easier, yes it is a hard game, but if you put the time to learn how to build your character and use all the tools given, you wont have too much trouble getting to the end credits. Summons for example can help you a lot during difficult encounters, splitting the enemies attention and giving you an opportunity to attack them while they attack your summons, and the coop still the same as ever, maybe easier, since you can craft the item that allows coop easily.

    Masterpiece, top 3 games of all time maybe even number 1.
    The world is breath taking everywhere you go, this is the best execution of an open world game together with Breath Of The Wild.
    Extreme fun making different builds and trying different play styles
    the possibility to travel anywhere can lead to outleveling some bosses and make them easier but the game is still very challenging and fun.

    So, the game was purchased a month after the premiere and started:

    I soaked in 125 hours of wonderful gameplay. FromSoftware's storytelling style is so great that I couldn't tear myself away from my computer. I spent about 100 hours exploring every bit of the map, patting the optional bosses and riding my horse wherever my eyes can see me. More than once, I found myself turning in a specific direction because I was meeting something equally interesting. In order not to write too much, I will mention the most important points in my opinion:

    PROS:
    + a beautiful open world with a huge amount of content that encourages detachment,
    + interesting story and nicely written characters - I got hooked so much that after finishing the game I sit and read lore on the internet.
    + interesting combat system, lots of weapons, nice attacks, ashes of war, skills,
    + the system of summoning ghosts to help - he saved me many times in the fight against the boss and it was pleasant to develop this large number of ghosts.
    + HORSE - perfect for exploring the world - nice speed, not muddy, something great.
    + Bosses - bosses everywhere, no matter where I entered it was a satisfying boss fight after clearing the area.
    + Grind - some treated it as a minus, but I thought the runes for the next lvl were very pleasant and I watched my character develop with pleasure.
    + difficulty - compared to Sekiro, it was quite easy here. I tortured the Crucible Knight the most in the eternal prison (out of 30 times), but Melania came down the first time :) the last BOSS after the third.

    The sense of exploration, the sheer magnitude of running all over a map then realising there is a whole lower level you haven't seen and you have to survey the lands and your map to understand where to go.
    The build variety is INSANE, you want to go strength but like faith things? Cool, there is a catalyst that scales off str, just get enough faith points to be able to cast that spell. You like a weapon but it doesn't have the scaling or weapon art u want. Cool there is an ash of war for it.
    The game engages you to explore, you can easily find flask upgrades just by looking for ruin type objects in ur map. You run into so many weapons, items, talismans etc to form your build.
    This is what I wished skyrim was, each dungeon drops cool things, has a boss that's challenging.
    Boss design is also refreshing, more aggressive, different attack chains depending on what option you choose it's a nice change to typical souls bosses (bar artorius and probably others).

    If this is your first souls game, maybe don't shell out the bucks and play dark souls 1 remastered. But If you want a broad sense of exploration, discovery and sheer wonder of the world you can't miss it. But you will have to git gud, understand how dodge rolling first and maybe check out some beginner videos.    … Expand

While amateur critics lambasted games like Cyberpunk for sporadic texture glitches, Elden Ring features server disconnects in a single player game, a plethora of CTDs, save corruptions that will see dozens of hours of progress lost, multiplayer disconnects, and a complete lack of matchmaking in multiplayer that will make gameplay with a friend a slog of level 100+ players camping level 1-30 areas.

    Elden Ring has an expansive and meaningful world and rich, perfectly understated lore. Unfortunately, it struggles at being a game underneath everything it does well. Monsters will hit you through walls, iframes on dodges and hitboxes on attacks are imperfect, and the class/leveling system is skewed in importance early on due to the game's prioritization of level over stats as an expression of the player's power.

    It's a great game. I just wish they spent a little more time making the gameplay enjoyable and maybe consider using their cloud system to protect players from save corruption? This is the first time I've seen save corruption in over a decade, and it's inexcusable. That alone is worth taking two points off the total score.    … Expand

The combat is not for everyone, although once you get over the difficulty and start getting used to the controls and mechanics it becomes more comfortable, but it still requires some investment. The UI is rather plain, sparse and dull, and not the greatest. The story is actually great, although its told really sparsely and too cryptically for my liking, and that would be my main gripe. There is no journal or record keeping/logging of quests and clues, so you HAVE to use a wiki or keep notes. Which i also felt was kind of unnecessary.

    Elden Ring is an experience that will not be forgotten in a hurry. It's a tremendous, hulking, massive achievement but because it is tremendous, hulking and massive, it is one that comes with many caveats. The shelves in CeX and conversations with people who stopped playing at Stormveil castle can certainly attest to some of those caveats. Much like any FromSoftware title, it's not going to be for everybody, but paradoxically it is one of their hardest and one of their most accessible to date. It offers huge value in one package, and perhaps is a little too much value, only becoming clearer when nearing the endgame. Don't be mistaken by the criticism, though. This is a phenomenal achievement with a moment-to-moment that is incredibly engaging and immersive. No doubt it will be deserving of the end-of-year accolades it will inevitably receive. One pushes through Elden Ring as one pushes through life, with all the highs and the lows that it brings.

    Elden Ring is massive, sometimes to its detriment. A thorough walkthrough might take up more than 100 hours to complete, and at some point it becomes clear that From Software did not have enough manpower to produce that much unique content. Still, it remains incredibly addictive even after those 100 hours pass…

    It’s hard to review Elden Ring without being comparative; that’s because Elden Ring is an evolutionary step, not a revolutionary one, and one can’t help but see how it’s built on what came before. Here is a massive undertaking of a game, not for the sake of chasing trends but as the natural progression of the style the company has been fostering for over a decade. It’s amazing how smoothly the transition to open world was and how much of the Souls identity is still present.
