    This is a true From Software games with all of the previous titles' features and some new ones. It is a difficult game and may not be for everyone, but there are some game mechanics (summoning other players is one of it) to make the experience easier. It has a wide variety of character builds with decent character customization. The environment design and music is to be highly commended too.

    An excellent soulslike with a much bigger world and giant creatures! We have all the familiar ingredients in Demon Souls, Dark Souls Trilogy, Bloodborne and Sekiro, but now with some additional abilities including mount to navigate an open world.

    The game is a combination of all the other works of the studio, a wonderful and attractive work, but not for everyone. It is a game that harshly punishes mistakes, but magnanimously rewards victories.

    Huge world that never slows down and keeps the rewards and danger coming? Check!

    Very good game. Essentially dark souls mechanics / items / quests stuffed inside of a BOTW style open world. It's fun to alternate grinding/exploring/dungeons. A lot to do in every single region, lots of interesting minibosses, sidequests, and general fun exploring. The open world does not feel copy and pasted like other open world games i've played.

    I keep reading the word masterpiece and it's true. Elden ring as the amalgamation of everything From Software has learned from previous Souls games is the crowning achievement of Myazaki. The poetic story telling, the impressive visuals – the way the brightly glowing elder tree towers over a continent befallen by sickness and distress comes to mind – and finally the impressive arsenal of weapons and well thought out combat – it's nothing short of amazing. I wish From Software had these stuttering issues, a bad port and every other minor inconvenience people whine about in their reviews as if it were the end of the world in a different game and avoided this overshadowing their magnum opus, but it is what it is. enjoyed my 50 hours so far and to all the people crying about accessibility, I can only say:"Git gud and ram your head against the wall until it breaks or leave, level up somewhere else and come back with your newly acquired floppy hammer for more kinetic energy to give them the business."    … Expand

    OK. I created an account specially for this because I'm sick of stupid people who don't know FromSoft games and rage-quit after the Grafted Scion leaving 0/10 reviews. So let me address some of the points that they made.
    1. “The pc port is horrible, and the stuttering is awful”
    I personally am playing on a 2020 laptop not built for gaming, playing on high graphics, and the game has    OK. I created an account specially for this because I'm sick of stupid people who don't know FromSoft games and rage-quit after the Grafted Scion leaving 0/10 reviews. So let me address some of the points that they made.
    1. “The pc port is horrible, and the stuttering is awful”
    I personally am playing on a 2020 laptop not built for gaming, playing on high graphics, and the game has stuttered once very mildly at Stormhill. I'm writing it off, but if your pc isn't good enough to play it on ultra-high settings, perhaps consider lowering them rather than **** about it on the internet. Plus, IMO, it's no grounds for leaving a 0/10 review.
    2. “The graphics are outdated”
    The game is f**king stunning, guys. Plus, if you've ever played a FromSoft game, you'll know that graphics isn't the main priority. The lore, story, and gameplay are more important – leading me onto my next point:
    3. “There's no lore!”
    Yes there is you **** donkey. One piece of advice? Play the game.
    4. “It's too hard”
    I'm sorry, but there's an incredible technique – changed my life. You ready to hear it?
    Ok, here goes…

    Git gud

    5. “It's just hype, people are lying and saying that it's good just because they're fanboys”
    Nope. I'ts been out for 5 days, and it's already one of my most played games in steam. That's not hype, that's astounding gameplay that forces you to keep on coming back.

    6. “It's not actually open world”/ “It's nothing new, open world isn't revolutionary”/ “It's so empty”
    Yes, it is open world. The definition states:

    “In video games, an open world is a game mechanic of using a virtual world that the player can explore and approach objectives freely, as opposed to a world with more linear and structured gameplay”

    No, it may not be revolutionary, but it's incredible to see the mix of dark souls and open world. THAT'S what's revolutionary. And also, this is empty? I've never seen a less empty world – not Skyrim, not BOTW, not any game.

    And finally, people comparing it to CyberPunk2077…
    Did you guys even play it when it came out? It was full of bugs, and was virtually unplayable. Now THAT'S an example of overhype.

    I find it funny people doing no research, spending 60 dollars on a game that was not meant for them, and then leaving a rating of 0 – decreasing the average to a measly 6.1/10 (at time of writing).

    Do I think it's 10/10? Probably not. IMO it's 9/10, but I need to get these reviews up, so I added the extra point.

    (3) If you’re somehow angry at the game for the high critic reviews, I’m glad that From angered the right people: not their long-time fans. As a long-time Souls player, I’m not angry in it in the slightest. Some people overhyped this game to be something it’s not, but it’s what I wanted as a long-time fan of Fromsoftware: an excellent game that pushes the genre to another level while keeping its core identity.

    It’s not a perfect game by any means. The bugs for many people are horrible, and I hope they’re fixed soon.

    And though I’m very happy with it, it’s not 100% what I expected from the game. I was hoping for a more majestic open world, and not another decaying, post-fall-of-the-Gods kind of story. The world could be less drab and foggy.

    But for a guy who impulsively bought Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition 10 years ago and ended up loving the series, I can see that this game was made with a lot of love.

    More room for improvement means more games. I will eagerly await the next Fromsoftware game. Until then, I’ll happily get lost in The Lands Between for the next few years. It’s a 10/10 for me.    … Expand

    Excellent game. I have had performance issues on a fairly high end rig, but they are nowhere near as bad as reviewers and fans have been claiming (for me, anyway). The idea that the performance issues should drop the score I think is pretty absurd as I am pretty confident it will be patched and they have had no impact on gameplay for me.

    In terms of the game itself, I give it a 10 out    Excellent game.

The idea that the performance issues should drop the score I think is pretty absurd as I am pretty confident it will be patched and they have had no impact on gameplay for me.

    In terms of the game itself, I give it a 10 out of 10 because none of the flaws are objective in nature. There are subjective flaws based on one's tastes but that's not the point of a review. I get bored of most games very quickly but have struggled to pull myself out of Elden Ring. It has the smoothest gameplay of anything in the genre due to the colossal world. If you are challenged by a difficult foe, you simply travel somewhere else and find something new to do.

    The art direction and world design, the latter of which has plainly benefited from George R. R. Martin's contributions, is spectacular. I find myself very curious about the characters, places, creatures, and environments and eager to learn more. For instance, a gruesome and vile enemy, the Godskin Noble/Apostle, has me fascinated about their origins (and whose skin they are wearing). They are perhaps the most unsettling bosses I've seen From design yet.

    The gameplay is superficially a step back from Sekiro, but one must consider the constraints imposed by the gargantuan variety of character equipment, skills, magic and so on. From that vantage point, it is a clear and unambiguous step forward for other action RPG's From has created, and so far has the best fights I have seen in the series yet (aside from Sekiro, which is competitive or still somewhat superior, although I have not finished Elden Ring yet).

    Now, if you're not a fan of From's work and related work in this sub genre, I think Elden Ring may sway you, but it still has incredible challenges and other issues that will turn players off if they bounced off before. I would still recommend it unless you are absolutely not a fan of this style of game.

    In closing, I'm not sure what the point of having a 10 point scale is if this isn't a 10.    … Expand

And yet some people compare this to CP77? Probably are running a potato or never bothered updating a driver.

    And this is the medium level of the critic: "I play on keyboard and mouse and it shows me controller input". To be fair to me these are quite forgettable critics. I mean, come on, does people really get the difference between 60 and 144 fps?

    Long story short: performance are fine. They'll likely be improved, because yes they can, but are fine and there is no such thing as a "0, litterally unplayable", if you don't have cognitive dissonance.

    Then gameplay, history, lore, mechanics, aesthetic, everything is amazing and perfect.

    Is also kind of hard (Dark Souls hard) and I suspect this to be the main problem of many negative reviews. Thank you Margit.
    This along with missing the "go there, do that" point on the map, but again, as usually fromsoftware does. You can understand what to do (and usually is "kill everyone") and where to go the moment you think about it. I mean, a NPC told you "go north" you go north, even if in the map there is no sign, right? I'm speechless by how many times I read stuff like this.

    This is likely to remain as a masterpiece in the years (and decade) to come. It is not a revolution, or a total innovation, but it's the peak of several genres.    … Expand

    Aside from the graphics optimization issues, overall Elden Ring is a great game.
    They have improved on most of the shortcomings of the DS3 gameplay - mixing and adding new mechanics from Combat, movement, skills... in a balanced way. It must be said that the combat mechanism becomes much more comfortable than the DS3. And there are many ways to defend, dodge... and more fighting styles for you to choose and mix.
    Keep the old ones and add new ones. Make it so much more complete.

    Everything inside seems more comfortable. But the design of Boss and enemies of Elden Ring is more ferocious, more agile, more explosive combos. It doesn't make it any less challenging. you can hardly use the same way with all the Bosses in Elden Ring. Fast, Strong, Defense, Massive, Swarm,... you'll have to figure out how to deal with each of them, dodging every hit, keeping your composure and making your way through the barrage of attacks. Just make one mistake and you will get the consequences.

    Dungeons are everywhere, they always give you great loot. But the dungeon boss was slowly rising. But the traps and puzzles will take you hours to get through. And you will die a lot.

    Story:
    A great story to discover, it's hidden behind everything. stories in Item, in ruins, in chance encounters with interesting NPCs. You will love some of them, some will make you laugh and some make you sad. Multiple endings depending on the progress and NPC you went through in their quest. You will find that your decisions have a certain effect on the world in Elden Ring. Both good and bad.

    A main story with many branches and leaves. You won't feel complete if you just run away and beat the last boss. Because the secrets you come across along the way will also contribute to your perspective on the overall story. And don't skip any conversations. talk to the NPCs until the end of the dialogue and there are things that surprise you.

    Art:
    The Elden Ring's overall art may not be something everyone likes. If you like rainbows and dynamic, cheerful, modern colors. Then perhaps Elden Ring is quite outdated for you.
    Elden Ring has an ancient, mysterious art style and a great overall tone. you won't feel it's lame. It is in harmony. They have balanced aesthetics into a large world. Makes you feel like a part of it. The landscape is filled with a multitude of things, the ecology changes from region to region, the weather and light pervades everywhere. Dark caves and majestic castles were everywhere, beneath the shining Erdtree's shadow. It is hard to find this feeling in other open world games.    … Expand

    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

It's sad to see the game being review bombed and given 0's over the issues it has or things like "bad graphics" the game is incredibly beautiful in my opinion. It's no horizon forbidden west which is fine, the environment and style do a lot for me fromsoft are in a master craft of world building and art style. I have a hard time due to disabilities staying with games I feel I'm not good at and I give up quite easily but for some reason I haven't even had to take a break from the game. I've gotten angry yes but something in me kept wanting to persevere and complete the task I was stuck on and doing so gave me a feeling I can't quite describe. It's honestly been great overall for my mental health which probably sounds crazy but finding out I can actually keep going and accomplish something that' seems incredibly difficult is amazing for me. The massive amount of hate I've seen recently for the smallest of reasons is saddening but it doesn't change how great the game is. The game is also incredibly accessible to newer players or people who had a hard time with previous games. Yes it's still very difficult at times but you have the opportunity to explore the entire world and gear yourself and power yourself up for encounters you feel you cant handle yet and it highly rewards you for exploring. If you're too afraid to try the game because you've hard how difficult it is, give it a try anyway I think you'll find a fantastic game.… Expand

    This is an amazing game that is worth your time if you are willing to put in the time required to learn the game system. New or old players can both rejoice and learn the big two lessons that Elden Ring has taught better than ever before within the first few minutes or hours depending on how quick you get to the first real boss or fight the first mini boss. 1- You can always return to something later with better gear and stats to make it more forgiving. 2- Eventually ramming your head against the wall will break it as long as you remember to learn from each mistake that lead to your death.
    The open world never feels empty with even some of the more dead end areas at minimum having crafting materials.
    Dungeons and bosses continue the classic formula and then go beyond showing more innovation than before, with varied environments and challenges as well as move sets and style.
    I will close on mentioning that the way some bosses move in the game are leagues ahead of where the games have been previously. It feels more than ever like the bosses have a reaction to what you as a player are doing rather than simply your distance away from them mixed with a die roll. See the first main boss where you will be forced to learn the game, similar in its lessons to another boss in the other Fromsoft game Sekiro that could be classified as a point where many players "clicked" as to how the game worked.
    In the end, I do suggest the game. But I say that anyone buying it should understand that it will require a bit of patience. You will not walk in here and dominate the game without first learning how the game works. And even then, sometimes you just miss a dodge roll haha.

    If this is your first FromSoftware game, I will say its hard to recommend. There games are not like any other game. Think about it, I'd recommend a friend, who never play a FromSoftware game, to try Dark Souls 3 first. That's my favorite FS game and I feel like Elden Scrolls being open world might affect the experience and understanding of what makes FS games amazing. I guess it is really doesn't matter though, b/c anyone playing Elden Rings will have their own individual experience.    … Expand

    I loved Dark Souls and this game is really similar but with an open world to explore. There are a lot of dungeons and open world bosses to conquer.

    - 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

    Let me start by saying that I only recently started playing games by From Software, starting first with Sekiro, then Dark Souls 3, started playing Dark Souls Remastered, but quickly hopped onto Elden Ring when it came out.

    I believe the game whole heartedly deserves of an 8.7/10 mainly due to performance issues, but I am rating it a 10/10 because of the imbalance there is with the reviews I have been reading (skip to last two paragraphs for more detailed explanation of what I mean).

    First let me address the overinflated, totally not an elephant elephant in the room, the performance issues. My computer can definitely hold its own: 1440p max settings with a 4 core xeon, 48 Gbs of ram , and a titan xp gpu. For me personally (your mileage may vary), I am having minimal to non-existant stuttering or framerate drop. Do stuttering and framerate drops occur? Yes. Was it significant enough that I couldn't enjoy the game? Hell no. Honestly, I can only attest to my own experience, but these performance issues occur so infrequently or not at all during my 1-2 hour play sessions that I forget its even issue people are actually complaining about. When stuttering does actually happen, it lasts no more than 2-3 seconds. I've put 30 hours into the game and look forward to my next 30 hours.

    As for gameplay, any comparison of Elden Ring to Far Cry is simply lazy and delusional. For the sake of comparison, I'd say this game is more on par with The Witcher 3. The crafting system is excellent, fighting is clean and smooth, leveling is a bit harder than souls 3, enemies are difficult and bosses are fun and challenging.

    I will say my biggest, and so far only frustration with the game is the button mapping. It is limited and I'm stuck wondering why does R3 also serve as a torrent dismount? The amount of times I've accidentally dismounted at the most inconvenient times is frustrating, and there are limited options for remapping. I also will not play on a mouse and keyboard because I'm not a lunatic. I find leveling up much harder on this game than in other souls game, but this is more of something I need to adjust to rather than a frustration.

    I have read many of the negative reviews and I completely understand why someone might not like a game due to the performance issues or lack of ultrawide support. Does that deem the game a 0/10. Absolutely not. Yet again, these are not professional reviewers who know how to properly evaluate something. Reviews take into consideration a variety of aspects, of which none never account for 100% of the score. So while performance is no doubt a category to be considered in a games overall score. It would never account for perhaps more than 20% of the final score. I literally just read a review that said 'it's a great game, but can't recommend it in this state - 0/10'. Really? It seems to me that reviews are either '0/10 - stuttering, no ultrawide' and mention nothing of the actual game itself. Or they are '10/10 masterpiece and completely ignore the performance issues.

    With that being said, I believe the game is minimum an 8.7/10. However, I'm scoring it a 10/10 because it deserves to be higher than what it currently is on Metacritic. All the 0/10 reviews simply complain about the lack of ultrawide support or performance and don't even talk about the game itself. From my personal experience, I had minimal stuttering and it had zero effect on my enjoyment of the game itself. Honestly, the stuttering happens rarely during a typical sessions for me (1-2 hours). When it does happen, I hardly notice it and it's gone in a few seconds. I understand why negative reviewers are frustrated, but most are being lazy and cannot control their emotions. The game is very much playable; it is innovative; and it is a world worth exploring.    … Expand

    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.
