The boring empty open world is filled with wannabe pokemon summons called spirit ashe summons, you like collecting pokemons in your souls games? I don't. There is no meaningful reward, the game is too big for its own good, next time provide less quantity and more QUALITY, like previous souls games. Expand

    On the game itself.. This is easily the best damn Souls-like game I've ever played and I'm having a blast. Being open world fixes the vast majority of my gripes about previous Souls games. Dark Souls should have gone open world long ago and this game proves it. Having space to dodge and roll around your OP enemy is like the first time you've tasted your favorite food. It makes you realize "I'm the problem, I just need to figure this out" vs "this is impossible." I absolutely adore the DS method in an open world environment. Mad, MAD props to FromSoft for going open world. This is likely where the reviewers stopped and posted OMG100/100 GREATESTGAMEOFALLTIME!!1!11!

    Cons that warrant my rating?

    Most overrated game of all time? Easily. I'll skip over the massive performance issues for now as they're well documented.

    As a game DS was very niche to begin with. It followed a steep learning curve of "figure out your enemy's move set and work around it to win" formula. In this Elden Ring has shined. The problem is enemies have ZERO ai and it shows in an open world vs standing in a hallway. Stand on a rock and they're completely broken. I was able to defeat several bosses and many mini bosses by abusing the terrain while completely ignoring their move set. Not to mention if you range hit a mob his buddy will completely ignore you while you gank your target. WORST AI IN HISTORY. (Sidenote: Throwing knives and arrows move like they're going through Jello but ignore gravity. Even f*cking Minecraft takes gravity seriously.)

    The menus, oh god the menus. They're about as intuitive as building a piece of IKEA furniture with no instructions and 4 screws missing. Every spell, weapon, or item you equip has almost no description, is clunky to equip, and has no stats outside of weapons. In a game where stats are crucial this is a massive failure. This was solved 30 years ago in games and only makes FromSoft look incompetent. There's no popup tooltips when you hover over stats and you have to resort to looking up stuff online to make any sense. I don't mind trial and error when fighting mobs. It shouldn't be in the menus too.

    Fans will claim "realism" to defend it. **** I'm killing waterlogged zombies stretched out like a rubber chicken with their flesh literally falling off their bones that magically can overpower me if I get too close. Don't talk to me about realism.

    Good luck figuring out how to change native control popups from Xbox to KB/Mouse. It's under SOUND controls because that makes total sense. (Settings>sound>onscreen prompt device if you need to fix this) I mean, what's the chance a PC user would want to use a keyboard and mouse instead of an xbox controller? That's unheard of. /s This was solved a decade ago on PC but FS wasn't at that meeting.

    Targeting. Why is there no target tabbing? If there's a little bastard in my face but a hulking monstrosity trying to annihilate me standing over him guess what gets targeted? I have to move my mouse a full screen swipe towards the big guy to get the target to change before I can dodge meaning I'm already dead. Ironic when you need to turn the mouse sensitivity to it's absolute minimum to make it even usable.

    My last con> PERFORMANCE. We all know how **** this game runs, and it's well documented. It can't maintain 30fps on PS4, can't maintain 60fps on PS5, stutters wildly on a fire breathing PC, but looks like an early PS4 game? When I see suggestions that it's best played as a PS4 disc (lowest quality) on a PS5 that's a problem. There's no way in hell this is a 100/100 game and this proves reviewers were either paid or under a hard NDA to not mention performance prerelease.

    When I'm playing on a PC that runs Cyberpunk 2077 at 60fps in 4k but this runs at less than 60 with constant dips into the low 20s while looking like a game from 2016 that's a big issue. I honestly can't name another title that runs this badly. Maybe RDR2 but that looks vastly better than this.

    As a Dark Souls game this is easily 12/10 and everything I could hope for. When you take all other games into account? Solid 7, maybe 8 and that's being generous. There's too many problems here other studios solved decades ago. All my problems have also been all over reddit so I'm not alone. Any reviewer that calls this a 100/100 game meaning perfect should never be trusted again.

    TLDR: I absolutely LOVE this game, but it's far from perfect and DS fanbois need to be honest with themselves. Hard does not equal good. Now you're playing with the big boys and this is mediocre at best.

    Another overhyped triple A release that fanboys will inevitably defend no matter how many obvious flaws that are staring them in the face so disregard any 9 or 10 reviews.

    Its pretty obvious at this point that this game is not even close to the "masterpiece" that "critics" and fanboys are claiming it is. I swear the term "masterpiece" gets tossed around so casually these days that its become irrelevant along with mainstream video game journalism. I truly cannot comprehend how you can look past all the performance issues/reused assets and then call this a good game.

    The open world is easily the most glaring flaw because its so empty and generic. Unlike games like BOTW or Witcher 3 there aren't many ways you can interact with the environment outside of picking up useless crafting materials. The optional dungeons are essentially chalice dungeons from bloodborne except with more copy and paste boss designs and rewards that make going through them seem like a waste of time(spoiler, they are).

    For all the fuss about GRR martin being the writer there is very little payoff. I was hoping he would give a more solid narrative other than the usual endless stream of item descriptions that are beyond overplayed at this point but I guess I expected too much from what everyone is calling a "masterpiece".

    The combat is(you guessed it) more of the same. The only difference is that there is a jump button which has very little impact on what you do when fighting, you'll still be dodging, hitting, and then chugging estus in between. Anyone claiming this is good combat needs to be reminded how many souls games there have been and how it isn't impressive anymore. As a veteran I expected much more from the combat but hey, masterpiece amiright?

    The NPC's are just as generic as the world they inhabit. The moment I encountered a talking jar was the point where I knew all semblance of immersion had been tossed out the window. No longer is there any coherence between what they are doing vs what you're doing in the world, now its just wacky nonsense.

    As a souls veteran I'm pretty disgusted with the praise elden ring has received. It does nothing better than the original dark souls or demons souls so putting it on a pedestal just shows how easily reviews can be bought and fool casuals. I use this game as a litmus test to see how easily fooled someone is by video game hype, disregard any positive opinion on this game as market brainwashing, because that's all it usually is.

There is nothing lake that in ER. In Bloodborne i wanted to open every door and pick into every window in every location, in ER i just want to the open world to end and find a castle, or a village or something to explore. Souls games are know for insane amount of details concentrated in average sized locations. When you transfer these details to an open world they are non existent anymore. Elden ring also lacks music and atmosphere. Do you remember the goosebumps moonlit melody gave you when visiting hunters dream in BB? Do you remember the incredible atmosphere in Sekiro created by music? You will not hear anything like that masterpiece in ER. Lets be honest alright? Turn the music off in Witcher 3, any Elder Scrolls game, RDR2 etc etc...Half of your joy and pleasure from playing the game will vanish. Creating an open world for ER (which is mostly empty btw) they totally forgot to add decent music to it and therefore no atmosphere is in the game. Bosses are dull, sidequests are almost impossible to start or finish without checking on internet, insane amount of items just brings confusion and does not really add diversity to gameplay. Overall it could have been a very-very good game if devs just made it 2 times smaller, removed fast travel mechanics (made us travel only from bonfires). And dear devs, please, stop adding grotesque British accent to every npc in the game. It really does not do any good to your games anymore. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most overrated mess I have ever played. Will most likely win GOTY because the industry is a bunch of yes men sheep that are too scared to point out the fact that this is nothing more than dark souls open world. It does nothing to push the open world genre forward. The devs made this game so big and only realised later on, so everything is recycled and all dungeons and bosses play out the same. It became blindingly apparent that the devs bite off more than they could chew when you reach the final snow area that’s just a straight shot to the boss. The world is empty devoid of life (which is the intended effect) but there is nothing to do but fight mindless enemies that attack on sites. Almost all open world games provide something else to do, games like skyrim provide entire settlements and cities to explore with people to speak to and quests to accept. I’m not even a big skyrim fan but at least exploring the world you never know what you will run into, for example a group of bounty hunters that intercept your travel or a courier catching up to you to deliver a message. None of these examples are particularly mind blowing but at the very least it makes exploring less predictable with interesting discoveries. All Elden ring has to offer is are massive bland open fields with a bunch of enemies to fight. The best parts of this game are the actual dungeons, as with the added jump they can be designed more vertically, which are just the whole parts of a normal souls game. Sekiro was an ambitious push in a different direction to reinvigorate the tired souls formulae, then they immediately revert back to the same old dark souls controls. The fact this mediocre game is praised as one of the greatest games of all time makes me feel like I’m in a parallel world. Expand

    The menu's give you the controller buttons not the PC buttons to push. This is a half-baked game which has not finished its PC port. The gamer unfriendly features and game failings are too many to list. The fraud critics have been lying over and over about this game.

    I don't understand why people are review bombing a game because their computer can't run it. If your computer is dated, then consider buying it on console or upgrading.

    Everything about the game feels wrong. Not even a single thing makes me think it is right.

    -Multiplayer is Buggy as hell, all the functions work clunky, the mount gets in bug, the server connection gets in bug, there are tons of visual bugs, teleporting doesn't work right, quests are not functioning right, etc.

    -Some classes are op while some others are weak asf, such as the blade of bandit hits only 15 while the mage skill hits 350 and the scaling makes no sense at all while leveling up.

    -Even some little mob can 2 hit you in this game, which is not the problem, but the problem is that these little mobs are coming so often and they have very terrible hitting animations that makes it almost impossible to dodge, block (blocking is terrible anyways), and every time you die that makes you walk 3 more minutes to the little mob you died and you repeat that sometimes over 10 times. You walk that reasonless checkpoint-mob way for 30 minutes in a run.

    -Playing archer is over pointless, where you have to get your arrows by buying for an expensive price, since you mostly need around 15-20 arrows to kill one weak mob (75-45 damage per arrow) that only gives you 100 points, which you waste almost 300 - 600 points to buy those arrows, or you have to grind some 10-15 minutes of mobs to replenish those arrows with crafting, which is WASTE OF TIME while you can do 350 damage with a little portion of your mana.

    -Most of the items found in the wilderness give no clue about how to use them, and even if they do they are useless most of the time that feels like just cosmetic roleplaying consumable stuff that wastes your time even more.

    -Story stinks from the beginning, is very boring, nonsense, non-clear, chaotic, and it even makes you consider why this game does have a story for real. In my opinion, it could be better if there was no "FORCING IT" to storytelling in this game.

    -Map design is very complex, it doesn't show anything really, you don't know where you should be or are going.

    -Animations are... No comment, really.

    -Bosses or mobs don't have a clear attacking pattern, they are attacking very randomly that is hitting you 1/2 of or the whole of your health which makes you run another 3 more minutes. Which is already impossible to dodge or block (which doesn't need to be added into the game if it was going to work this poorly).

    +Only thing good about this game might be the graphics, the graphics are good, but only graphics doesn't make the game fun while it is suffering from mechanic, engine, and gameplay aspects.

    Conclusion:
    The game is Exaggerated after I played and experienced it. This game is for people who probably like suffering, hardcore mental grind, and a game that is unpolished and broken all the way. This game started a genre and popularity that drove lots of indie or developer corporations to make "Souls-like" games more and not even one of them was successful for God's sake. They need to stop doing these terrible game-set-driven games where they don't Success "AT ALL". Only the "FromSoftware" games about souls-like were successful, not all of them of course, and yet they were all probably rigged or exaggerated in my opinion. I played all of the dark souls or its copies, and they were SUFFERING my enjoyment, a game was meant to make me enjoy while these were making me get frustrated and wanted me to leave the game immediately.

    It's a beautiful game with a lot going for it, but it's simply too hard to be enjoyable. I wish your character was more agile around the world. For being an open-world game, it sure limits where you can go. Rocks that any physically capable human could climb are impossible to climb over.

    I have now played more than 40 hours of Elden Ring. I killed two of the major bosses (out of three) and reached the Grand Lift of Dectus before I decided enough was enough.
    First, what the game does well.
    Feel and tone
    It lets you get a feel for the game without throwing things in your face. This could have been done better, but it is nice to experience a game where, as you go through, more unfolds before you.
    Bugs.
    This game is quite well polished. It is relatively bug-free. In forty hours of gameplay, I only ran into one serious bug.
    What the game does poorly.
    Music.
    Although the musical score is very nice, the music is poorly implemented. You know whether something is intended to be an easy fight or a hard fight, just based on the music, and it changes your tactics. When the music indicates this is meant to be a tough fight, you hang back and take stock a little to learn your opponents' moves.
    Combat.
    The combat is dull, repetitive, and cliché. You are playing in a Quick Time Event (QTE). In fact, the whole game is one long QTE. You see the horse rear back, hit dodge. You see the guy with the halberd pull their arm back for a lunging strike, hit parry. Every enemy has a slightly different indicator of what button to hit when, but they are all the same tactics.
    Enemies.
    They are all laughable and trite. Seriously, they are bad. It's like the game designers went to a five-year-old and asked them what a cool monster would be. "Oh, a giant head, on a go-kart, that shoots flaming harpoons from its mouth….."
    Seriously? The creatures you encounter seem to have no relationship with each other. Some are animals, some are weird inanimate things, and some are people, but none seems consistent.
    Gameplay.
    The objective of the game is to kill three big bosses. The only indication you get as to where they are is that you get a little golden line at some respawn points that show you roughly the direction you need to go.
    Death is an integral part of the game. Many people told me the game is good because it is so hard unforgiving. But it is probably the most forgiving game released in recent years. Death means nothing, nothing at all. If you die, you drop runes. But this doesn't matter, you can go pick them back up, and as you can run around most enemies, you can literally just run to where you died, pick them up, run to the nearest spawn point, let anyone pursuing you kill you. Now you respawn right here, with no enemies — as they also reset — and pick up your runes. It's pointless.
    Consider this to a more traditional game. If you die in a more traditional game, you have to load your previous save. The experience, money etc, you got is gone. Every enemy you killed is alive again. In
    Atmosphere.
    The game is void of anything worthwhile, there are numerous tilesets, but they don't do anything different to each other, just look different. The world is devoid of content, vapid at best. You have virtually no people, no characters, no justification for anything being anywhere. It's just a perpetual rule of cool. Lovely ruins, why are there? Who knows, there's no lore about it. There's no perceived purpose for the building. It's just there.
    Not only this, the world is big and empty. You can spend ages just running from place to place, no fighting, nothing interesting to look at, nothing interesting to do, just run.
    Character creation.
    Wow, this takes the cake, you get given the choice of three classes, with no explanation about the differences between the classes, and you begin at level 8, and none of it is explained or even makes sense.
    NPCs.
    The NPCs you meet in the game are quite frankly **** They give you no reasoning as to why they are there. They are all tropey to the point of making my teeth hurt, and, for the most part, they would have been just as compelling if they were a roadside sign that you had to read.
    Lore.
    I like the lore, but it's here instead of what they did well because the lore has virtually no intersection with gameplay. Every item gives you snippets of lore. If you want it all, be a completionist and collect everything.
    Story
    Well, no, the story is crap. The story, in essence, is that you are at a tipping point, and how you level up your character is meant to reflect the tittering balance of the world around you. But you don't have a story here. The story is found in the lore, which undercuts the entire game but never intersects with it. There is no story in the gameplay.
    Conclusion
    Is Elden Ring good? No. It's trite, repetitive; boring; large, but not full; lacking consequence and impact. It's flagged as an RPG, but it isn't you don't play a character. All you do is allocate stats. You don't make choices that matter; you go through the motions. It is an entirely linear game in a non-linear environment, and it suffers because of it.

You absolutely cannot improvise or out smart your enemies, you are either at a certain power level and will win, or you are at a certain power level and will lose regardless of what you do. The enemies are all stupid mindless trolls that just repeatedly run over you or are crushed by you, nothing else happens in combat. It is the dumbest combat I've ever experienced in a game, immensely stressful in its stolid, simplistic stupidity. As for the lore and supposed great story with GRRM, it's a big nothing burger. There is literally no there there. Everything in the narrative is an anomalous grab bag of emo fantasy cliches. The imbecile nature of the game's structure prevents anything remotely resembling fluidity in the narrative. It's a great empty hodgepodge. Never before have I so baffled by the praise of something, not even mere videogames. This is the most wrongly hyped trash in history. Expand

Now u put easy anti cheat so every mod we put in make us banned from the game, also ultrawide mod. (SPOILER: Modders says make ultrawide mode cost 30minutes, so imagine how long it would take you) but you don't care about costumers.
    -In 2022, u provide us a game with a 2gen old graphic (it's something like PS3). Ok it doesn't matter but let it run flawless. No. It strutter like no tomorrow. I have a 3080 TI and the frame (already capped a 60fps) drops to 30 in every moment of the game, bossfight included.
    -In 2022, u are lacking every good features existing in the world like DLSS, Ray Tracing, AMD FSR etc.
    -Where is Steam cloud? we are still in the age where if you format the pc you lose all the saves?
    -Why if i want close the game i have return to menu (watching everytime the from's logo and bandai's logo) and only after i can close the game. Maybe u could make closing the game just a little bit faster?

    You didn't find time for make this game playable and enjoyable on PC and XBOX (Also there is exrtemely bad optimizated) but u found the time for develop haptic feedback on PS5 (the game on PS5 work properly, more or less).

    That's why u only focussed on PS5 cause u don't care about other customers.
    U provided us a game in a shameful state and your politics is even more shameful

    perfect GAME.Absolute Peak of From Software games. The sheer amount of content available for the player to explore is absurd.

    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. In the short time since its release, it has already left a cultural mark, no doubt a result of the game’s increased approachability. Even after sifting past all the hype and grandiosity, there’s still an excellent game left and Elden Ring is a clear showcase of FromSoftware’s outstanding expertise in the field. Elden Ring really is just that good.
