    Jogo Excelente e de altíssimo nível e de um primor de desenvolvimento e detalhes incomensuráveis, certamente o jogo do ano indiscutivelmente, único e primoroso são adjetivos pequenos para essa obra de arte do mundo dos games. No Pc tem alguns pequenos problemas de frame drop, mas nada que atrapalhe e destrua a experiência do jogo, vale cada centavo dos 250 reais gastos. Platinado e Aprovado.

    10/10 one of the best open worlds we had in the past years. Its more RPG than Final Fantasy these days xD

    As someone who has played all previous Souls games, Elden Ring tops them all. Although made noticeably easier than previous games to appeal to a newer audience, the open world experience is a delight and I really hope every game they make going forward is open world too.

    I'm re-reviewing this game after originally giving it a 7 because I thought it was too frustratingly hard (among other things) and I didn't get my moneys worth. Now that I played it with the coop mod, I can confirm that this is absolutely incredible and I'm extremely happy to have given it another shot!

    Elden Ring is The Best Open World I ever seen before you can’t feel boring when u open new area or something like that in other games and the art design is so amazing every time u shocked and the bosses and enemies are the best about ever you seen in video games history!!!

    Alright, first things first, the port is a bit janky at points, but here's the thing: Less than 25% of people have beat the first Major Boss, and by far the most stuttering I encountered was on day 1 against the first minor boss, Tree Sentinel. I've played ~60 hours and haven't had any noticeable stuttering after the first 2 or so hours. I use a 1060 and r5 3600, for reference.Alright, first things first, the port is a bit janky at points, but here's the thing: Less than 25% of people have beat the first Major Boss, and by far the most stuttering I encountered was on day 1 against the first minor boss, Tree Sentinel.

    Everything else is amazing. It's been years since I was so captivated by a game. But know that this isn't Uncharted or Skyrim. You're not going to have cutscenes where political intrigue is discussed openly. The lore is rich but scattered and it'll be up to you to piece things together. You'll have to be attentive to this game, both in combat and out, there's just so much you'll miss otherwise.

    I can also admit this isn't the game for everyone. It's challenging. It's made me very frustrated at times. But if you're honest with yourself, your failures are your own and are fair. You're at a disadvantage often and will have to fight uphill often, but if you learn about From's mechanics (Spirit Summoning, Magic, Co-op Summons, and enemy affinities/weaknesses), you'll be able to steamroll encounters by being their exact counter. That feeling of overcoming what feels unfair is the drug that makes these games special. Enjoy at your discretion, not at others' prescription.

    Oooooo, Elden Ring.

    I love it, the technical issues are things that I can overlook, they weren’t really that bad for me. Absolutely loved exploring the world of this game and I am kinda sad that I’ve finished it, obviously I’m going to get the other endings but I really needed this game.
    The gameplay, even if it has some reused assets, is really good. The world is spectacular, it feels like it was built piece

    The gameplay, even if it has some reused assets, is really good. The world is spectacular, it feels like it was built piece by piece because it is so strange and always look amazing.
    I adored exploring every road I found cause it always had something to do or someone different to kill. I really don’t have an explaination on why people are saying that the world is empty other than maybe they haven’t explored at all. I totally get that it isn’t clear as sky where you should go at certain levels because in the first area you can find enemies way stronger than you, but at the same time, if I couldn’t defeat someone, I can always change path cause I’m sure to find something to get stronger somewhere.

    For me it’s must and it made me really happy playing this amazing world

    A perfect title with immense size and fun packaged into the lands between. With various fine tuned weapons and spells Elden Ring creates a world that is worth exploring.

    What FromSoftware did here will be very difficult to beat in the future. You can clearly see that they cared for every single small detail be it the music, the lore, the level design, the gameplay and even the graphics (they're just at point considering it's a truly open world). 10/10

In a few words, responding to the critics: if you are in trouble for the difficult, what did you expect from From Software? if you are having technical issues, I am with you, I hope you will get to enjoy this masterpiece; if you think that there is not any kind of innovation, play for some hours and come back here.

There are tons of mechanics that makes this game a true RPG, of that kind we are not used to see, nowadays. And the story, check the descriptions of the items and try not to skip all dialogues, trust me. Finally, do you really think that Forbidden West is innovative? It's a masterpiece, of course. but it is the exact same thing of Zero Dawn. Hope to see you in the Lands Between, fellows Tarnished. Expand

    Incredible game, bad port. An amazing experience overall, but occasional crashes and freezes are annoying. Still giving a 10 because the game itself deserves it.

    Combat is best class.
    Enemy designs are outstanding.
    Artistic direction is top notch.
    This game is truly a Masterpiece!
    Some people experienced FPS drops but I didn’t experience any.

    The culmination of Dark Souls, Sekiro and Bloodbourne make this the best game FS has ever made. The open world is beautiful with loads of secrets to find and nooks to explore. The bosses are satisfying and well designed. The story is well written with lots of intricate and juicy lore nuggets.

    If you rush you can make it the hardest Souls game you've ever played.
    If you take it a bit slower, it will be similar in difficulty to the old games.
    If you take it very slow and out-level content it also fits the bit more casual player, although don't think it will be easy. The open world and "questing system" are the new benchmark for the entire genre. For me it's one of the best

    I've never had so much fun for a quite some times now with video games. And then this game came out. I didn't expect much initially. I just bought it cuz I didn't really has any other games to play. But danggg. I'm so surprised of how good this game is. I'm hooked. It is so unique from any othe open world games I've played. Definitely a GOTY for me.

    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.
