    The end game has a major spike in difficulty(mostly enemies doing absurd amounts of damage), but it is still a very very satisfying experience. Highly recommend.    … Expand

    The game is good, excellent sound design, locations, variety of weapons. She pulled me in for lot of days.
    But on the technical side, the game is 5 years outdated. Havok in 2022? Really? Something needs to be done with the game engine, physics alone is annoying to the point of impossibility.

    Video games are supposed to do two things: entertain and give fun. The Souls saga fails in both. Its a game which will keep you frustrated, because it's unfairly hard, and even after a lot of effort, when you manage to kill the bosses, there is no good sensation, just a relief from a bad sensation that the game caused itself.

    If you see a 10/10 they are definitely Fromsoft fanboys. This game is NOWHERE near 10/10, especially the PC version.

    The single player game is a 6 to 7/10 max and even that is generous.

This game is NOWHERE near 10/10, especially the PC version.

    The single player game is a 6 to 7/10 max and even that is generous.

    The constant crashing, the lower quality graphics(for 2022 the graphics should be a lot better than this), the need to google EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING in the game, and the reused assets(you will fight the same boss over and over again after mid-game) is why I cannot give this higher than a 7.

    I am not a graphics nerd. I don't need it to be life like for me to enjoy it(heck I still go back and play Atari games sometimes), but the graphics, while good, are no where near the quality of even God of War which came out over 4 years ago. Look no further that the fact that this released(and still as of this date) with no widescreen mode. If you have a nice curved 3440 monitor than this game will only serve to piss you off with the HUGE black bars on the sides.

    It has a bad problem with crashing constantly. It seems to happen the most when I use the map. No fix yet as of writing this.

    The need of a google search bar integrated into this game is a huge fault. I don't need my hand to be held with my games, but when I can't understand what something does and there is NO repository for it in the game, then there is a huge problem. There is ZERO quest tracking, not nearly enough info on what things do, the amount they do and the time in which they do said thing and no journal to look at to remember what's been said/done. This adds nothing to the game and in fact detracts from it to the point that it makes the Devs look extremely lazy, to not add even the most basic of info on things, or they did it to pad the games play time.

    The reuse of assets gets really bad after midgame, the same boss you fought earlier WILL make an appearance, it's not if they will, it's when.

    The multiplayer is straight garbage and is why I gave a 5/10 instead of a 7.

    The multiplayer, Hooo boy, where to begin...
    First, this is NOT a co-op game. It's a PvP game with co-op elements. You don't get to just hop in with a friend, Oh no, you have to furl a finger and wave some mist around first, and if your friend has beaten the boss of the area it's a no go, you can't join them. Also be prepared to get invaded by a guy who is maxed out on everything and is in new game + #16 with OP weapons and skills and 1 shots you, or someone lag switching and warping everywhere so your hits don't land but when they hit it's always a crit or backstab, or a straight up cheater who will invade just to corrupt your save so you have to start ALL over again. Sounds fun huh?

    Wanna play with just your friend and run around and have fun? Too bad! This is FROMSOFT BEEEE-OUCH! If I would have known how bad the horrible "co-op" mode is I would not have purchased the game.

    So no, this is FAR from GOTY and any 10/10 score. Take off the Fromsoft rose colored glasses and get a reality check if you think it is.

    Even with all this the single player mode is still pretty enjoyable, but these problems are, for some reason, completely overlooked because it's a "Fromsoft/Souls like" game by all these 10/10er's. Do you think they would overlook all this for anyone else? I seriously doubt it.

    Pros:
    Fun combat
    Great graphics
    Interesting world
    The weapon art/ash of war system is pretty interesting and fun to mess around with

    Cons:
    Bad pc performance
    Overall bad/lazy bosses (there are some good ones and some great ones, but they are far outnumbered by the ones that just aren't fun. Many bosses do this annoying thing where every time you get close they attack and back up from you to get out of your reach, making it feel like the boss is more scared of you than you are of them. It's annoying and not fun)
    -Reusing bosses both from previous games and reusing bosses multiple times in this game (A LOT)
    -Atrocious balancing (End game enemies do way too much damage for what is reasonable, even at -2nd softcapped vigor you still get 2 shot by nearly everything)
    -Pvp is bad, mainly due to the poor balancing (i will admit it can still be fun, but I still think its pretty objectively bad)
    -Certain mechanics are just really annoying and add nothing, such as not being able to teleport at the beginning of caves or not being able to open the map if an enemy 12 football fields away is staring you down (like bruh just disable fast-travel, not the entire damn map)
    -Lack of quality of life features such as a quest log or elevation changes being poorly displayed on the map
    -Many areas are either lame or just outright annoying, such as the mountaintop of the giants or Elphael

    In closing, this game has many flaws but is still pretty good. I wanted to go further in depth into the cons because most others seem to sweep them under the rug. Overall, I would recommend this game, but just take the 10/10s with a significant portion of salt    … Expand

    We’re thrown in fractured world only hundred years after The Shattering, war that no demigod came out victorious leaving Lands Between in stalemate.
    We’re tarnished, once stripped from the grace of Greater Will and exiled, coming back to Lands Between, resurrected and yet again guided by the very grace we were stripped from, with one goal – to become the Elden Lord.

    To summarize how big Lands Between are I will say only this: there’s always more.
    Elden Ring world is made up from five main parts on surface level, this already sounds like enormous place. But wait, there’s more – each part has legacy dungeons, big structures that player can get lost for hours and still be surprised revisiting the place. There are also catacombs, minor erdtrees, ruins, villages, and so on. It is very densely packed and it gives hours upon hours of additional content to go through. Still not enough? There is literally 3 major underground locations, each bigger than the last one. And for the dessert - whole legacy dungeon floating above the sea near the coastline of Lands Between.
    FromSoftware creates dark fantasy and I, personally, think that currently there’s no one in the industry better at doing so.

    The most important part for some, especially if advertised as ACTION RPG. Just a reminder, you’re Tarnished, a nobody with a simple task to become the Elden Lord, against various demigods, with a stick and wooden shield. The game is not easy. It is not the hardest FromSoftware game, but it’s still hard, especially for newcomers.
    Will you get bored? I don’t think there’s a chance to get bored in this game, even with such simple combat mechanics, because there’s also variety of builds, with easily over 200, probably even more weapons, over 100 armor sets for your fresh Elden Bling, and many more configurations with new addition – Ashes of War. If that’s not enough, let’s talk about variety of enemies. Remember seeing total of 19 enemies in God of War from 2018, winner of Game of the Year? There’s over 140 unique enemy types in the game that are vastly different from each other (except for reskins, not many of them though).

    I am Malenia, Blade of Ashina, and hasitation is defeat.
    TLDR : The game is the only rightful choice for Game of the Year.    … Expand

There are a lot of places where you will, without warning, end up teleported and stuck, unable to level up, reallocate flasks, upgrade anything, so you can end up losing your save if you get sent in unprepared which goes against exploration because there is no way of knowing when or if you're strong enough without entering and then you can't leave. There is a lot of that and it really ruins the experience and flies in the face of the "dust yourself off and try again" appeal of these games when a lot of bosses actually have nothing to do with skill, if you have the wrong build, you just may not be able to react fast enough to do anything without being killed as a result, you went caster? Tough luck, you literally have no time to charge your spells. You went tanky with a shield? Tough luck, this boss does a room length piercing attack that will stagger through the best gear available until after them and then they go into a one shot combo before you can control your character again and they patched out one early material could have let you upgrade one gear piece, like your shield, so you wouldn't stagger, could dodge the combo and then punish but instead we have this because boss design and balancing sucks. The fact even diehard players went after the material because without that upgraded piece, some builds could not beat the boss blocking them from progessing the story and accessing other areas, or at least would require such perfect play, it's beyond what even a Souls style game can realistically ask.

The music is great, the atmosphere of danger and exploration is probably one of the strong points of the game. 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.

The boss design is mostly on par with their best imo. There are like 5 bosses that contend with my all time favorites from the other games. The open world is probably the best I've experienced. Also has the best QOL features by far.

    I do still have some complaints though. There is a lot of boss reusing, but its 99% in side content so I don't really mind. Some boss attacks are kinda BS. And theres a lot of group/gank bosses that are very obnoxious, mostly in side content but there is one story one in particular that everyone despises.    … Expand

    My second complaint is with some performance issues. It is VERY clear this game was meant for console. The game will sometimes drop frames for no reason (I have a very good PC) especially during bosses which is the last time you want frame drops.

And yeah, sure, I knew it was gonna be good. I’ve played every title FromSoftware has dropped, so I knew what to expect. What I didn’t expect, however, is that Elden Ring would blow my expectations right outta the effin’ water.

    Where do I even start? Huge open world. Nooks and crannies freakin’ galore. Secrets. Dungeons. Secret dungeons. I mean, you name it, they’ve already thought about it and put in this damn game. This is a world begging to be explored. Because if you do, you will absolutely stumble upon something. A weapon, armor set, spell, whatever. This game rewards you in so many different ways. And the world…holy hell, just beautifully crafted; intricate, in fact. The world is your oyster. Play however you want, go in any direction you want, fight whoever you want. It simply will not hold your hand. From the very moment you step foot into the first area, the game simply tells you, “go”. I got huge Breath of the Wild vibes, and that is a beautiful thing to have that much freedom at your fingertips.

    Here are my gripes. For the PC version, the performance is hit or miss. The game runs great the vast majority of the time, but I’ve run into frame rate drops, hiccups, and freezes every so often. Dungeons will recycle bosses, so I wish there was more variety there. Main bosses are a friggin’ nightmare. They will one hit kill you, or assault you with relentless combos, and have long range and devastating area of effect attacks. Maybe I need to “get good”, but somewhere in the back of my mind while fighting these bosses I felt like the relentless amount of attacks thrown at you and damage scaling could use some tweaking.

    Elden ring is not just a lover letter to the Soulsborne genre, but a love letter to gaming in general. It has been a long time where I have been truly absorbed in a game. I very, very rarely try and unlock trophies in any game. This was an exception. I unlocked every trophy. Elden Ring set the standard and set the bar really, really high. This is what games should strive to be like. It really was a pleasure to play and experience this, and I hope FromSoftware continues to follow this formula with their future projects. Although I had an issue or two with this game, Elden Ring is perfection. This is a masterpiece, and you would be remiss not to play this.    … Expand

The first area is by far the most interesting part of the open world, after that it takes a huge dip in quality (late game areas almost made me uninstall the game, and not because of difficulty but for lack of interest) I know bare and depressing atmosphere is their thing, but it doesn't work in an open world setting, the combat is great and varied with the addition of weapons arts, but it seriously lacks balance; it's extremely easy to make an OP build that renders most bosses a joke. the lore is legit dark souls copy pasted. yeah I know that may not be a bad thing for some, but when they said they are done with dark souls and wanted to create something new, I thought they meant it.. And finally, and what really triggered me was the side quests, the system in the previous games was always stupid, as you couple easily fail a questline simply by doing something before talking to some NPC you didn't even notice, although that was more or less tolerable as the game was somewhat linear, but stick with the same quest system in a huge open world where you are MEANT to explore new areas in no particular order is beyond silly. Overall, I think this was a failure and it's better they avoid open world games in the future if they can't actually fill their world with something interesting, not going to even address the optimization...… Expand

Two months have passed since the release and I haven't had enough of this work of art yet, let's take it in order.. (155+ h nikita47744 steam)

    Visual
    It is impossible to evaluate the work of artists and the level of designers in any way other than "great". Despite the general oppressive background that permeates the whole world, Individual locations hide a separate history and a unique atmosphere:

    LIBURNIA OF THE LAKES - The atmosphere of a magical lake.

    CAELI - Once the great plains of the stargazers, but destroyed by red Rot.

    ALTUS PLATEAU is the concentration of great will, the center of power, order and wealth... etc..

    Only the Winter location loses its tone and uniqueness, but it also has its own identity.

    The main method that Miyazaki chose to influence the player is gigantism. You literally feel like a grain of sand in this vast world. Coupled with the fact that every living being in this world is trying to kill you, you literally consider yourself lost and oppressed in this world (Miazaki has achieved his goal)

    Gameplay
    A HUGE number of variations of the style of play
    A HUGE number of unique weapons
    A solid number of bosses
    Even more diverse movement sets

    Here it is worth touching on the "problem" of reuse to create absolutely unique bosses for this whole huge world would require 6-7 years of development, and the passage of this game would be delayed for 150-200h YOU JUST COULDN'T GET USED TO THIS WORLD
    My opinion is that familiar opponents serve as a way to test their abilities and consolidate previous "lessons" in memory

    There are still frankly broken builds among the builds, but the developers are working on solving this problem.

    Plot
    I am amazed by the number of "new players" who complain about his absence and incomprehensible pitch, well, welcome to Miazaki games LOL

    The central branch - Rennie's quest is a small masterpiece, I think Martin worked on this branch and it's good.

    Without taking into account Rennie's quest, the plot also looks quite holistic (If you want to become a lord, you have become one) In this case, the plot works, but it becomes easier.

    Additional quests are just telling a story that fits the tone of the game and contribute to the disclosure of the world, I would call them functional, although I have imbued with many stories

    All this together makes it possible to say that Miazaki understands perfectly well what the players want from him and he gave it to them.

    Huge fame and big sales will surely give the green light to the sequel.

    Cool new thing you can use the spirit bottle thing to offer momentary distraction, but most of the time that's all they can do.

    The biggest issue I have with this game that it's crashed in just yesterday more times than Cyberpunk did for me during 200 hours of playing it (on PC).

    I don't get how people like TheActMan can blindly praise game like this and then act like Cyberpunk was so unstable it took only 5 minutes before game crashed. And it wouldn't be that bad if the app just crashed, but it jams my entire computer and I lose everything I had running on background.

    But hey, apparently everyone decided that ELDEN RING is awesome and there's nothing terrible in it, after all it's a game where they didn't deliver more than they promised.

    Without crashing it would be a solid 7.5 buy in sale. The problem is also with community who blindly accepts everything as long they own previous title. I went to mention about the problems in open world game like this. Everything is isolated from one another outside of 2-3 pieces of collectibles to open an elevator or a door.

    But don't get me wrong, this game would be awesome 10/10 game to anyone who really-really digs into the game and it's environments and has done all throughout study of all the quests and item locations, because god damn, you're not just accidentally going to find that Lightning Spear spell in this gigantic open world, which I might add is quite crucial to Faith build.

    I also didn't enjoy travelling to the one Nexus location to do pretty much everything, especially when that nexus location had to always be located in the bottom of the map. There are some great ideas but some are just poorly thought out. And then there's the 10 different crafting items just to upgrade a single item to +10 as opposed to 2-3 items in past titles. And most of the crafting just feels like wasted potential.

    I'm pretty sure ELDEN RING 2 is going to solve a lot of these issues, but like I said, without bugs 7.5, with crashes... well this score.    … Expand

Yes, this game does have some performance issues. it is also, in almost every other way, a masterful piece of art that prioritizes artistic design and quality gameplay over stuffing itself with pointless busywork.

    The open world itself is fantastically made, filled to the brim with quality content that exists as more than a time killer or a space filler; it's well thought out, tightly executed content.

    The changes that have been made to the souls formula help to elevate the game, working in tandem with the open world to provide a greater sense of exploration and discovery than any other Fromsoft game.

    In brief, this game is a well thought out, beautifully realized gem. It uses its open world to benefit its gameplay and its design instead of using it as an excuse for mediocre content. That gem just so happens to have a bit of dirt on it.

    I don't like to be confrontational, and it's completely fair to not enjoy the game. However, if some graphical issues are enough for you to give a game this well designed and beautifully realized a 0/10, please re-evaluate your metrics.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok the goood about this game...

    1) beautiful and diverse open world
    2) integrate fighting style

    Needs improvement:
    1) The fighting style is great but the reaction and timing from your opponents is completely arbitrary, meaning you have to die from every boss 3 times to know his time. It becomes clear pretty quick it's not based on skill or hand-eye coordination but how many times you've died to that exact f'ing boss. That is the cancer of the dark souls series, the fighting is cool but there's no consistency AT ALL. Oh this boss has a magic insta-move that kills you instantly, oh you didn't know about that?

    2) the thing the dark souls a-holes do where you lose your experience if you don't run to where you died... is f'ing stupid and is intended to make you churn up the same scenery over and over again. It's a dumb stunt and yes it makes your blood pressure boil on the spot but it inhibits your overall satisfaction of the game(s)

    Overall they did a lot of things right, this is better than Dark Souls which was addictive but then you were like ... why did I play that f'ing game for 8 hrs, what is wrong with me    … Expand

Throughout it all, while the fundamentals of combat haven’t changed much from what we’ve seen before, the enormous variety of viciously designed enemies and the brutal but surmountable bosses have brought its battles to a new level.

    - Clunky controls
    - Animations

    The game is difficult, though unlike souls titles, this one allows you to play at your own pace, skipping anything you find too difficult until you feel up to the challenge. The world is a 100% free roam open world, so you can basically go wherever you want from minute 1. You can also be whatever you want, even the craziest builds can be viable if you know how to exploit them properly.

    A big fuss was made about the performance, but my computer is below the minimum requirements and I don't even set everything to low, yet still have a stable 30fps. So... I really don't know what all the fuss is about.
    Another thing people apparently don't like is the storytelling. But this aspect is no different from previous souls games, just more massive and dense with content and lore.

    Overall, it's a unique experience and I can't remember being so immersed in a game since Skyrim. As with the previous games in the series, you may feel that the game is not "that good" at the beginning, but if you manage to persevere through this funny torture until the end, you will realise that you have been playing a masterpiece for the last 100 hours.    … Expand

FromSoft has consistently delivered fantastic experiences for the past few years, and here's Elden Ring, a game everybody calls a masterpiece that's Dark Souls' formula distilled and perfected for an open world. This must be the BGE, right?

    Umm, no. It's not FromSoft's best game (still Sekiro, and it'll be for a while I'm guessing). It's not even their second best game. But it's still pretty good, because it's a FromSoft game.

    I noticed these times tend to exaggerate the quality of open world games with a slightly different take on it than the others. First there was BOTW, then there was RDR2, and now ER. I'm not exactly sure why, open world games have a lot of trouble maintaining interest over time.

    For reference, I just finished the game with 100 hours under my belt, my character is level 151 and beaten every single boss.

    Pros :

    - FromSoft knows how to make gameplay feel weighty, impactful, and that didn't change with Elden Ring. I love their animations, the variety of builds available. The weapons, the spells, the enemies. They look and feel great to use and fight.
    - The art and design of the Lands Between is incredible. They know how to make you drool over landscapes, towering buildings, or even a swamp (yes, another one). I threw out a few "Wows" during my run, and that very rarely happens.
    - The OST doesn't deliver as much impact this time around, but it's still a great soundtrack.
    - The Bosses. they're FromSoft's biggest argument, and they were my greates fear when I started my game. Then I met a certain Omen, and I knew my fears were unjustified. There are problems, but the big, intimidating, rage-inducing bosses are here, and they're great.
    - Flexibility and accessibility. FromSoft understood that running for 5 minutes every time you want to try a boss again was not fun. Spirit ashes are an interesting mechanic for newcomers, the stakes make repeated trials less tedious, there are more sites of grace and they're less isolated. This makes going through some zones less of a chore and more of an actual challenge.

    Cons :

    - The Open World. Everybody praises this like it's the second coming of Breath of the Wild, but I found it very bland in its structure. Once the discovery phase fizzles out (as nice as it genuinely was), I just understood the structure and that it wouldn't change. Catacombs, mines and grottos are always pretty much the same.
    - Recycled content. This I'm really not happy with. Remember that super cool boss you fought once in the starting area? Remember how fun it was? Here, here's five of the same guy, hurdled together either as a boss fight or just random mobs in a dungeon. I'm not kidding, out of the 170 bosses in the game, only 15 are unique, all others are used multiple times, and sometimes they come in twos or threes, which is honestly a very cheap trick.
    - Balance. This is a byproduct of the open world structure. It's not up to the player to set a "base" difficulty in FS games, it's kind of their thing. They set up obstacles for you that seem insurmountable and you manage to overcome them as best you can. Except that in ER, you can pass them in a GTA equivalent where the game basically does all the work alone (The Mimic+10 summon can solo bosses), or you do your best to fight against mechanics designed for the case where the player is actually in GTA mode and therefore you're in for the hardest ennemies ever in an FS game. And let's not talk about me playing normally and getting to every zone with 20 more levels than advised: the devs response? Make everything oneshot my character past a certain point, even though I invested 50 points in vigor.
    - Poor servers. I mean, if you're gonna have servers that bad, don't force people out of the game each time they fail... It happened to me a few times during boss fights, let me tell you I really wasn't in the mood to play after that.

    Anyway, not the best nor worst thing to come out of FromSoft, I'm waiting for the DLC that'll hopefully correct some of the aspects I talked about, FS are known for their great DLCs.    … Expand

    Finally a FS game where i can see the whole thing i can go where the mages study i can walk thru all the capital no more imagine how the place looks like i can finally walk in places and see what happened everywhere.

    All art aspects is amazing, Graphics a very well implemented, music fits very well, a lot of new enemies but a lot of others that i'm familiar, i can play this game and feel used to it and still have the sense of wanderlust.

    Story is way easier to follow this if you pay attention to dialogue, reading items is very good for lore info but there is a lot of NPCs that paint the world way different for me.

    Easily the most accessible FS game ever made, spirit summon is there to be used and abused, really makes the solo experience less lonely.

    For me the game won me during Raya Lucaria Academy, my wish to actually see a magic academy in a FS game was realized and i can see how it works i love it.

    And this game really let you play as you want, my Magic Knight is fun and i'm trying other builds with different sets and it works, i don't need to watch guides for it i can cook a build on my own and respec is cheap and easy.

    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.
