    -- some things are not balanced at all
    - the starting is a bit bad
    - mouse controls

    there is so much stuff in this game also they have a good reason for reusing things because there is so much in this game and it makes the game even better so it ends up being a positive. I have also played some of their other games too.    … Expand

В игре 160 с лишним боссов, но оригинальных, которые не повторяются и не взяты из предыдущих частей можно посчитать по пальцам одной руки. Из плюсов новые фишечки в геймплее, огромное кол-во контента и достойная реиграбельность с желанием попробовать разные билды.

    Un juego bastante dificil como todos los souls pero a diferencia de los otros souls, si en este te trabas en algun boss puedes dar media vuelta e intentar con otros 30 que puedes encontrar en el mapa.

But, that's also because I did not sit and read the item lore/descriptions (if you want to know the lore, I recommend it).

    Master piece of a game no other games has presented at this scale and beauty. Were vastly drawn into the world once I started playing. In a age where AAA games are filled with micro transactions this game with lesser content, this truly was the holy grace for me.

The last drawback for me is the vibe of the rainy location in south of the Limegrave, and often the game feels too much "rainy" and "foggy" for me, its of course entirely subjective. I rarely gives higher scores than 7, but this masterpiece own it, for sure.… Expand

    Playing Elden Ring is a really intense experience. The game is capable of keeping you alert and aware of what is around you at all times.

    As a negative point, I would say that a diary or similar is missing with which to follow the missions. Also, the animations of the character to get up or drink potions are very slow and it is somewhat frustrating not to have control over him for so long.

    Elden Ring strips down the core aspects of gaming (combat, platforming, exploration) and hones them into near perfection. The result is a remarkably tight hack and slash adventure that provides near endless replayability. The art direction is often jaw-dropping, as seen both in the open world (such as Nokron and Liurnia) and in the imaginative menagerie of bosses (Ancestor Spirit, Mohg).Elden Ring strips down the core aspects of gaming (combat, platforming, exploration) and hones them into near perfection.

Not to mention Tsukasa Saito's score punctuates all the dramatic moments and landscapes with a stirring, ethereal aura. The learning curve is doubtlessly massive and punishing.

    Foi minha primeiro experiência jogando algo da From Software e não poderia estar mais feliz. Pelo que vi, é o melhor de todos os jogos dela em um só lugar, com mais liberdade e um pouco de exploração. Bosses únicos bem criativos, design impecável e boa variedade de inimigos, apesar de alguns se repetirem um pouco.

    This game is a masterpiece. It's one of the most beautiful and well rounded adventure games I've ever played. It is very difficult at times, but usually fair. There are a huge variety of ways to play, giving the game aot of replayability. The game systems are great. The world is really compelling.

    Open world fits in the soulsborne games perfectly. You can see people say "It's dark souls 3 with mount and jumping". You can be sure about jumping and mount really matters in the soulsborne games and that caused with level designs considering to these mechanics. So that two mechanics aren't minor **** or sth. It is one of the best games you can ever play and best game of 2022 since Feb for now

    Super fantastic game but what else can you expect when George RR. Martin and Miyazaki work together.
    The only downside is that the game occasionally has FPS drops and crashes.
    Otherwise, one of the few games where you can not go wrong if you buy it at full price. Especially if you are into the Souls genre.

    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.
