Mar 2, 2022This game didn't even run on my PC even though my PC configuration is higher than the minimum requirements, refund. Maybe after that Miyazaki will learn how to optimize games in which even the graphics do not change.

Mar 3, 2022It's ridiculous that after 2 patches, the invisible enemies bug still goes on, it's an issue that can completly ruin your experience, really it's more important fix the popping or whatever than people can actually play?

Mar 30, 2022Worst game of all time. Lagging, bad balance, useless attributes, most of items and armors = unusable, every creep kill you 2 hit even when u spend all attributes in hp and you have heavy armor :)
Creeps are stronger than bosses in this game, makes a lot of sense -
Mar 3, 2022not support 21:9
limited frame late 60fps
suck optimization
suck keyboard custumization -

Mar 3, 2022Worst optimized game I have ever seen my life and sucks graphics.Literally unplayable
-
Mar 4, 2022Runs terribly, bad gameplay. Would refund if I could. I don’t recommend this game to anyone looking for a pleasant experience.
-
Mar 4, 2022Really bad game on PC, it's impossible to play that port, terrible performance and lack of ultrawide support, features like dlss, fsr, reflex, 60+fps etc.

Mar 11, 2022I'm not gonna complain about the pc port, the game itself is a piece of ****
easy game with a lot of recycled bosses. -
Mar 5, 2022No performance issues for me on pc. I simply didn't like it. Controlling the character feels like driving a semi, controls are sluggish in a fight, character doesn't move when i want it to. Nope not for me

Mar 5, 2022Bought and refunded the game twice. It won't even finish downloading. I'd only be so lucky if I could load it up and see the framerate issues and stuttering everyone else is complaining about. GOTY is a laugh, it doesn't even work!! I've played hundreds of games on Steam with no issue, except this hunk of junk.
-
Mar 5, 2022Seems like it would be fun, but the performance is such garbage on a Ryzen 7 5800x, RTX 3080, 32 Gb ram, nvme.2 etc etc, FPS drops 20 to 30 at times, locked at 60, no fov control, menu is clunky… list goes on and on, fix the game and I’ll bump the review.
-
Mar 5, 2022Unplayable, hideous graphics, hideous gameplay, hideous storyline, no plot, hideous enemies, hideous map, artistically disgusting, hideous frame rate, with this commodore 64 graphics it runs terribly. In short, all horrendous, money thrown in the bin.
If I could rate this sub-species of theft I would rate -10 -
Mar 5, 2022It will continue to be a zero until they fix the PC port. No Ultrawide in 2022 is unforgivable. Horrible stutters, 60fps cap, bans for trying modding to get basic pc features.

Mar 6, 2022Ho buttato via 59 € per giocare a sto aborto di gioco per poco più di un paio d'ore, dopodiché il gioco non è più partito, ho provato a fare qualsiasi tipo di cosa immaginabile ma il gioco non si avvia nemmeno più, ho un PC a dir poco prestante, quindi sicuramente non è un problema del mio PC, comunque grazie mille per questa orribile esperienza e per avermi derubato.

Mar 6, 2022Мы, Россияне, не виноваты ни в чём. Мы не виноваты в этой войне, по какой причине вы нас обокрали? Мы требуем вернуть нам Elden Ring, пока это требование не будет исполнено, мы будем опускать рейтинг игры.

Mar 10, 2022game is just bad. outdated graphics. input delay from controls. and same old dodge dodge dodge hit battle system that takes you 1 hour to kill a boss. only people with too much time in their hands can play this. also story is so messed up you dont know what is happening most of the time. no journal to keep track of npc or quests. just bad
-

Mar 11, 2022Horrible performance, terribly boring. The world is empty and the combat is repetitive. Don't be fooled into thinking this is another game like Demon's Souls, Dark Souls or Bloodborne.
-

Mar 12, 2022Enemies are invisible and it’s only a dot still after 2 weeks of its release. So people still say study their animation to defeat them, I really want to say how? It’s rendering the game not playable. And I ask for refund.

Mar 12, 2022Elden Ring Review
0/10
Can't even play the game because it crashes every 10 minutes. -
Mar 14, 2022
-
Mar 14, 2022Just another Dark Souls with an open world. The UI is awful, the story shines by its lack of development and the graphics looks dated asf. Plus that, it runs very laggy even with a 3080.
-
Mar 14, 2022Very good world but way too much problems. With my rtx 2060 I can barely play on lowest settings (still getting A LOT of fps drops), sometimes in the middle of the game your enemies become invisible or just disappear. One of the worst game performance I've seen since Cyberpunk 2077
-
Mar 15, 2022
-
Mar 18, 2022Looks like game from 2012. Not fun, vague and unfair in every aspect. Game made for weird masochistic people. Stay away if you value your mental health.
-
Mar 19, 2022Another unacceptable port from a studio that NEVER fixes their games, look at Bloodborne and dark souls 3.
-
Mar 19, 2022added black bars on purpose to prevent players from playing ultrawide. sometimes the game opens without the bars and looks beautiful. the company doesn't give a damn about pc gamers
-
Mar 20, 2022
-
Mar 20, 2022Barely playable with performance issues. Stuttering and low fps regardless of hardware. All that with subpar graphics for 2022.
Terrible controls. Extreme input lag and inconsistency. Slow and sluggish combat. Many steps backward compared to any other soulsborne game.
Critics' reviews are either paid or plain lies from fanboys.
Huge disappointment. -
Mar 22, 2022the copy and paste was unreal I rolled my eyes seeing the same structures and layouts repeatedly and the bosses where worse, the amount of times the godskin bosses showed up was especially lazy. Also had some bosses just flat out go afk in the battle like the Dragonlord placidusax.
Not a bad game, above average but the overhype is real -
Mar 30, 2022No DLSS support
No ultrawide support
Stuttering ?
White screen (Long load time 10min sometimes)
Invisible enemies
FPS cap (60)
PVP exploit / glitch
Coop disconnections
Good game, but Fromsoftware don't care about the community requests -
Apr 8, 2022Garbage game, 2022/04/09 still can not enter game, white screen crash.
Do you have a grudge against my computer? -

Mar 24, 2022I was so excited for this game but it's unplayable due to motion sickness. No options available that help like FOV. It's a huge problem that hasn't even been addressed publicly but has been brought up by many in news articles and Reddit. I hope they fix this game. Also the lack of ultrawide monitor support is surprising.
-
Jun 8, 2022A game like a trap to catch beginners with hype.
The game is unbalanced, the variety of bugs, the large field, the slow bug fixes, everything is terrible!
I recommend not to buy it. -
Mar 26, 2022Terrible performance. Running up to date drivers and firmware, running 5950x, rtx3090, 4000mhz cl16 ddr4 and pcie4 nvme ssd. Stuttering mess. Reasonable art direction with ps3 era graphics.
Roll simulator. Considering how much dodging there is, dodging is what should be customisable - not combat. Bad customisation with controls too. -

Mar 26, 2022One of the worst games i have ever played. Awful and outdated in pretty much every aspect possible.

Apr 1, 2022Game does not stop crashing for some reason, PC can run every other games except this one. Searched up everything to fix it. And on top of that the support of Bandai did not even reply. Really disappointed.

Nov 15, 2022It's literally just a walking simulator except you might have a hammer sometimes.

Mar 30, 2022The Worst game ever made by From Software, the details lack polishing, a step backward in all aspects compared to the previous work.
If you want play a From Software's game, Elden Ring is the least worthwhile work to play. -
Apr 2, 2022CONS
1- The streamer is dumb
2- The map is big and confusing
3- the optimization is horrible, the game runs poorly on rtx
4-the people who make tutorials are dumb too. They don't show the map, they just show a specific corner hoping we know where it is.
PROS
the game is beautiful, at 40 fps -

Apr 5, 2022this game is the pinnacle of the souls genre that simply saved the whole videogame industry. GOTY 2022 for sure!

Apr 9, 2022내 인생 최악의 게임 멀미가 심하지만 시야각이나 pov설정이 전혀 없음, 멀미도 멀미 이지만 게임 자체가 재미가없고 너무 허술함
-
Apr 10, 2022If you enjoy games that are dripping with story, endlessly playable and a bang for your buck, Elden Ring may be the best for it. My first run of the game clocked about 100 hours. It is not an easy game to play, the game is sett like every other Soulsbourne game while allowing the player to experience the open world at their ease and pace.
-
Apr 10, 2022And other dark souls Without any changes. you have to go a looooooong way again and again in order to Encounter a boss? I don't have this much of time. what were you thinking about, when creating ( actually copy+pasting from dark souls) this game? Did you think gamers have many free times? it's just wasting so much time.
-
Apr 12, 2022If the game actually played well and optimized this would have been an 9/10, but when you release a game which is basically unplayable because you keep getting annoyed by stutters and bad optimization, I have to rate it accordingly. Fix the game and I'll change this review to its rightful metric. It's been out for a month now and we have heard nothing from FromSoftware.
-
Apr 21, 2022Its massive $ bombing for this game. Its not worth any money. Its another dark solus print with new ****
-
Apr 21, 2022Little to no roleplay, forced builds and difficulty based on unplayability. 'Best PC game' for a game with a terrible port is a joke.
-
Apr 22, 202247.5 Hours in and my file corrupted. I can't even start a new file it just wont let me in. It was a bad pc launch. Waste of $80 for me
-
May 5, 2022As others reviewers mentioned, the PC version is super suck. It doesn’t support UW screen and the instructions of control button is confusing. Otherwise it can be a good game.
Play on PS5 if you want to enjoy it. -
May 3, 2022If I had to sum this game up in one word it's exhausting. The sloppy platforming makes exploration a stressful mess where enemies are far less threatening than a 3 inch jump. That being said it's mostly good but this issue really brings down the experience.

May 15, 2022I love RPG games, however this game made me want to uninstall straight away. It is a big waste of time and money. Not intuitive for new players, no story. Just an open world where small rats can kill you and make you lose progress. Disgusting. How can this be the game of 2022?? I rather play Tetris than this crap

Jun 7, 2022Sekiro is my favorite game in the world, was hoping something like that but i didnt like any of this game, i took a lot of time on margit, and then i killed all the bosses of the game at the first try, unbalanced as hell.
And the open world suck rly hard in my opinion, not enjoyable and all the dungeons was the same. -
Jun 1, 2022I really wanted to love this game, but I still prefer The Witcher 3. You will either love or hate this game depending on what you enjoy out of video games. If you look for a challenge where you have to work hard to make any progress in the game then you will love this game, if you look for an immersive game with an amazing story then you will hate this game.
-
Jul 1, 2022Another horribly optimized game on PC port. It's been 4 months since release. Still not fixed. Not worth buying.

Jul 25, 2022**** game, previous dark souls games and bloodborne were much better
lots of brainless casual players and dumb boring bosses
maybe Malenia is the hardest boss, but also IT'S THE WORST BOSS EVER -

Jul 29, 2022Overrated piece of Darksouls **** Same bosses, same animationts, same sounds and new fullprice. Stop sponsoring Hidetaka.
-
Jul 31, 2022Worst game ever made (Absolute no balance, awful perfomance) black puddle on FromSoftware's pure reputation

Aug 6, 2022Bosses in ds1, ds2, ds3, sekiro, bb, demon souls are better, not stronger. BETTER

Nov 11, 2022Story mid gameplay mid graphics mid and honestly if you enjoyed this game idk how it’s just wasn’t appealing and I genuinely like open world games but this one just isn’t it
-
Nov 12, 2022One of the Worst games I have ever played in my life and trust me i have played some ****
-
Nov 14, 2022Best game of the past decade. Exceptional graphics, very replayable and fun with any build. Exploration feels unrewarding enough and some fights feel tedious. But none of that is comparable to the overall experience.
-
Dec 8, 2022Kill, die, repeat. Bland.....................................................
-
Dec 9, 2022Terrible. No story, no voice acting, just cheap mechanics for edgy players.
-
Dec 9, 2022Elden ring is a game that proves how much infulencers can effect people. Making a hard game and try to make it look like a good game strategy is should have ended with darksouls 2 but here we are again at this point we should make a hard mario game and pick it as a best game of the year
-
Dec 9, 2022A massive game that is only made massive by copy-pasted bosses, lazy design, lazy areas etc. The stuttering and lag on pc's even high-end is a joke, terrible port of a terrible game, bordering cash grab territory.
-
Dec 16, 2022Mesma Review da versão do PS5 Xbox,dark souls de mundo aberto com cavalo com gráficos antigos que não merecia o goty
Awards & Rankings

Aug 29, 2022Elden 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.
-
Apr 28, 2022Elden 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…
-
Apr 14, 2022It’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.
